Visited this weekend, must say I was very disappointed. The facility is nice if you're going for slots or a beautiful sports bar. However, for horse players I can't say they seemed to consider them at all....especially simulcast players.

1.) all entry through the casino, Delaware park has this right if I don't want to walk through the casino it's sure nice not to have to.
2.) Sports bar....no racing feeds, never will be
3.) I don't even know how to describe the simulcast area, sort of like the airport looking at arrival/departure screens. The space is long and narrow. Also, these TV's are all track feeds, no sports available. I may be in the minority but especially in the fall I like the big game on in the corner while I play.

Live racing is much better, although they really decreased the outside area and moved it pretty far from the rail. The toteboard is nice.


Maybe it'll grow on me...we'll see

This is the future of racing, at least at the small venues.

On my recent trip there, I spent most of my time outside. It is a small area, but kind of cozy. And Blue Mountain, for someone who grew up in a mostly flat part of PA, is impressive looming over the track.
