I've never been to Del Mar...hope to soon.
Saratoga has it all for me, best horses, nice ambiance.
Belmont in the fall is good too.
Just my opinion.
NY ladies are not to sneer about.
Seems to me, beauty is where you find it.

Even with the polytrack Kenneland's race meets crush the one Del Mar puts on. I cant stand short fields and 2/5 shots who you never know have enough "medication" to get the job done.

Saratoga and Keeneland are the top two tracks that I want to visit soon. I know I'll see Keeneland within the next year, and I will go out of my way to go see Saratoga.

Don't bother with Keeneland, unless you want to wear a face mask, that Poly Junk stinks, you should smell that garbage at Turfway, Keeneland is dead to me. Go straight to Saratoga and you'll be happier...

Well, I'm moving to Lexington next year, and Lexington is horse heaven. Although, I hope I end up at Saratoga for my internship.

If you love horses you will like Keeneland better but the Oklahoma training track at Saratoga makes it pretty close. Lexington KY puts Saratoga to shame though when you are talking farms. When you drive into Keeneland take a look to your right and it is arguably the greatest farm the sport has ever known.

Keeneland can put in concrete and it still will have the best atmosphere of any track.
