My one and only experience with this was a couple years ago - (QR / Dunkirk - FL Derby) there

As far as I'm concerned, It was a complete and unmitigated disaster of the highest order - and I swore it'd be my first and last FL Derby as a result..

30-40 minutes minimum to place a bet, get a drink or get something to eat, inadequate restroom facilities, no available seating, etc.

They were either pathetically unprepared or (more likely) simply unwilling to spend the money to provide the services required to manage a crowd of that size - and judging from what I had heard about last year - it was the latter.


So this is one way to deal with it. I might consider going on a Sunday knowing that the crowd will be at least manageable.
