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.

Sha Tin looks like the ish in Japan, that tote board looks awesome.

Del Mar, Toga, New Gulfstream(been to old one), Santa Anita, Colonial

Been to: Keeneland(meet was closed when I went though), Old Gulfstream, Arlington, Hawthorne

Went to 'Toga last year and was in heaven. Definetly want to check out Churchill, Belmont, and Del Mar someday.

Del Mar is my number one and Newmarket #2. Saratoga and Keeneland are tied for #3. I would like to visit the Curragh.

Without a doubt number 1 is Saratoga...

2. Keeneland (before it gets poly)

3. Belmont

3. Del Mar

Big gap from 1 to 2

I think you are too late for "non-poly" Keeneland. I think it is supposed to be in for the fall meet.

I guess I'd like to see Del Mar but that will never happen. Since it coiincides with Saratoga, I'd have to miss some of saratoga to see it, no thanks.

Oaklawn is the place I'd really like to see, its about the only one I havent been to that I watch and think that I would like to see that I havent been to already.

Del Mar is my top choice for tracks I haven't been to.

Saratoga

If I lived anywhere else....it would be Del Mar by a mile though. North County San Diego is pretty much the most beautiful part of the continental U.S. imo. Throw in a track by the ocean that features top shelf racing and seems to repel the degenerates......you have a race fans dream vacation spot.

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.
