I love watching Gold Room members line up for the comp buffet on Derby, Million etc day so as not to get short changed on shrimp. Wait till someones car gets broken into has his voucher coupons taken.

Someday information like programs and past performances will be free. I really have faith in this belief. I never have to pay for a seat at a slot machine or blackjack table.

Since I work at LAD, I'm very fortunate to know what it's like to have free access to the DRF or track programs. I promise if I had to pay for these, my personal handle last year would have 10-15% of what it was. You apply this to thousands of racing fans across the nation, it adds-up really, really fast.

I always get screwed on that buffet becuase I am never there right when it opens. But we make up for it with free booze on Million Day, it is a turnstyle after every race of getting 6-8 beers out of there

I agree. There are many days when I would bet a few races if I had the PP's. I don't want to take the time to download a whole card if I'm only have an hour to watch a couple of races. When the PP's are free and available I often will take a look and place a wager. When there is a contest on this site and I have PP's I often will make a few live wagers before work since I have done the capping.
