Yep. The only track I've attended where the paddock is trackside near the finish line and in what I think is clear view for most attendees in the grandstand.


Bay Meadows, and the indoor paddock by the betting windows is pretty hard for me to trump.....in my book though...


Gone, as Bay Meadows may be.


On a more positive note, the best view in my humble from Golden Gate Fields is from outside the Club House towards the valet lot.

An obstructed view of Sausalito, The Golden Gate Bridge....

and with a good angle...

The City By The Bay....


Perhaps Tony Bennett and others, agree.

Santa Anita Derby figures next for Connemara
By Chuck Dybdal

ALBANY, Calif. - After his victory in Saturday's El Camino Real Derby, Connemara looks headed to the Santa Anita Derby on April 3. Plans are not as solid for second- and third-place finishers Haimish Hy and Posse Power.

Connemara won for the third time in four starts on Saturday and avenged his lone defeat, which had come in his previous start, the California Derby.

"I think he moved up in our rankings," said trainer Todd Pletcher's assistant Mike McCarthy, who confirmed the Santa Anita Derby is the likely next start for Connemara. McCarthy made no commitments but hinted that Russell Baze would likely get a chance to ride Connemara back at Santa Anita.
