There is a lot to like about what they have there and the region as a destination. When I stayed over near the Maryland border after the Classic card, I realized I was close to Antietam and toured the Battlefield. It was a remarkable experience. And then I had breakfast with the Datillios before heading for Kentucky.

I'm there all the time and it's actually a pretty nice casino. The sprint festival card is usually quite good.

I rarely bet on Sat evenings but Colonial and Charles Town have cards worth playing tomorrow night. Kind of surprised Decisive Moment isn't the m/l favorite at the Chuck.

The casino is great if you like sitting at $100 minimum tables. That being said, the racing side features a great buffet, legendary Charles Town mainstay Jeff Gilleas, and freaking outrageous purses for what was basically a bullring five years ago. PEN has done wonders for Jefferson County.

And I've actually seen Fancy Buckles run a couple times in her day - who knew they'd name a stakes race after her?

ETA - the on-site hotel isn't all bad either, and is a quick hop from the casino itself.
