Inside the track, you can buy the race info horse as time and horse numbers. We watch a couple of races before betting on it.  There are lots of local folks betting. My dad is a huge horse race track and this was kinda a family thing to do.

My kids really enjoy watching the races, eating popcorn and playing on the little play area. It was the first time they saw a horse race as well as mine. Crazy right? but growing up I just saw this on TV. I hope you enjoy this gallery and learn what to expect there.
