Default Track You'd Most Like to Visit?

Of the ones you haven't seen yet. I would like to see 2. Haven't been to Churchill yet. And Del Mar sounds like a good time.

My faves are Saratoga and Belmont.

Fav I've been to: Hialeah. Loved the Spanish architecture, the flamingoes, and the flowers. But I agree that Del Mar is awfully nice, too.

#1 still to see: Saratoga. I've made 2 trips to the Racing Museum, but still haven't caught the track during its season.

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.
