The website shows that the first race the night we want to go starts at 5:40. I've never been, and would love to hear some advice. Do they have good eating on site? What time would be good to arrive? Might as well throw in some gambling advice as well.

Figure out which way the jockeys are rigging the race.

Went in the eighties and there were three cattle prods lying on the track at the finish line.

Call ahead and book a table up top, grand stand, sky box whatever they call it. Last time I was there it was around $20 per person and they'll have a buffet of pretty good food and you can buy your own drinks, etc. It's nice to not be in the heat, plus you can look down at the peasants below.

Is this in a "club level"? Air conditioning? Or are all the seats out in the heat?

It really is sad you let an anonymous person get to you so badly. There's no way you're a trial lawyer. Just none.

ETA: I saw your original post that read "frick you." Good job being a pussy and editing it out.

What did I say? Does it bother you that nobody pays attention to you?

Arrival time is up to you. I'd get there no later than 7. Yes, dining is Ok if you sit upstairs. Decent fare, decent service. Don't expect much from the crowd. It ain't a triple crown race so don't expect ladies in hats or anything special. Go outside between the races and watch the horses. Last race should be around 10. Hit the casino if you want some slot action. Check out the bars inside. All in all a good time for what it is.

Obviously. It's very clear you're soft as melted butter.

Yea, I'm not a pussy that edits out a message to someone and then acts like he didn't say it. Pussy bitch.

Cracks me up that you act like you're more mature than me though.

I honestly feel bad for you right now. This is a notch below a cry for help.
