Here Comes Santa Claus, here comes .....,".... true story, you can look it up), Louisiana, Oaklawn Park, Turf Paradise, Agua Caliente, Del Mar (Don Rickles was in the box next to ours), Los Al, Hollywood, Santa Anita, Canterbury (very nice), Prairie, Sportsmans, Hawthorne, Arlington, Hawthorne, Washington PArk (burned down late 70's or so), Ellis, Churchill, Kentucky Downs ( a sleeper favorite of mine), Keeneland, DRC, Hazel, Mt Pleasant (another sleeper.... mixed meet... fun spot), Woodbine, Ft Erie, Belmont, Aqueduct, Pimlico.

Del Mar is THE US track that I want to get to that I haven't seen. Also want to get to SA on that goofy Canadian Boxing Day holiday or whatever they call it.

I have been to Keeneland, Thistledowns, Churchill, Beulah and River Downs.

In the next 2 or 3 years I am gearing for Gulfstream and Saratoga. I gotta pal up here who loves Tampa Bay, he goes down twice a year. Heck, he just bought a trailer a couple miles from the track (house trailer)

Nothing like Keeneland's atmosphere, so scenic

Churchill is the bomb. I have never been to The Derby, don't care for big crowds. The fall meet is a lot of fun. I love the morning workouts, no matter what track.

Saratoga is awesome. I've been there, Big Sandy, Charles Town, Penn National, Delaware, Laurel, Pimlico, the old Garden State (now super expensive condos and the like), and Churchill. Really want to hit Arlington as well as the ones I mentioned previously.

Saratoga sounds like a nice place. I wouldn't mind going to a Preakness too. Pimlico dosn't look like the best, but if you can BYOB, I'm down w/ that.

The Fairgrounds. Love to see this one going again
