Got to opening day at DEL today. Man, the place looks absolutely fantastic! Really knocked me off my feet, what they've done with the place. Interior completely re-done, new carpeting, fixed up the outside, million dollar infield video board was awesome, and just a beautiful, clean, well-lanscaped park. Beautiful day. Even the rain held off until a half-hour after the last race was run (and even then, was only a drizzle).

And the squirrels gave me some good tips.

Jeezus I love this sport.

I don't doubt the place looks 80X better than what it did years ago, but there already back to their 6-8 horse fields with 2-3 scratches per race

I like the fact that they are opening to sports betting in Delaware. They are truly getting their sheet together there.

Here's to increasing those field sizes...

Couldn't agree with you more. Was there today, the racebook is fabulous, the paddock is second to none and collected a nice exacta on Sumwon's race. A great place to bring a family for a day at the races. Usually try to get there every weekend.
