no shit, was suppose to be up and runnin now, but went stale. we shall see. Riverdowns is a shit track from what I've heard. But tons of history at that track. i like going and chatting with the old timeers
Well the track on a Monday would suck. Nothing but bad cheap broken down nags run on monday.
When I was in California. I went to Hollywood Park. I played poker in the Casino and racebook before the friday night post time. I was in heaven when they would have runners take your bet right at the poker table.
LOL That is a wet dream for me.
But I would always say track. But on a Monday it would be poker all the way.
Jones recipe for a great weekday afternoon and evening:
Choose a pleasant summer weekday w/ both racing at River and Reds nightgame.
#1/ Get down a little action on Reds night game before the 75 minute ride north.
#2/ Enjoy the ambience at the River. Pretty much the worst horses and lowest purses in North America, but a real nice little outdoor tiki bar near the paddock. Great ambience, quite a few knowledgeable and friendly oldtimers to shoot the shit with. Actually still a well maintained and very scenic track.
#3/ Head over to Monmouth street in Newport Ky just across the Ohio River. Eat at Dixie Chili which is the original. Skyline Chili is but a poor imitation of Dixie.
