Is there an area there that is like that?

Thanks

The one time I was at Woodbine was either 2 or 3 years ago. I was in Toronto for the Bears vs Buffalo Bills game and we went to Woodbine for Breeders Cup Friday and Saturday. Both days we were in the buffet restaurant on the 3rd floor and stayed all day both days.

Do not exchange funds at the track as its usually a 5-7pt difference (right now it is 95 canadian for 100 American, when I was there is was the other way around)

There wasn't a ton of action on the outside because it was November but I was told that it gets pretty packed when its nice out. Hopefully you'll be able to see a live turf race because if you are going to the 'rail' with the kids, that is actually the turf course, not the poly. I always wanted to see a live turf race there, but it was abandoned when I was there.

Thanks for the tips Scav. 3 turf races on the card, probably will see at least the first two.
