It's pouring here this morning, biblical proportions. Much harder than yesterday. Forget about the turf races.
Yesterday, some of my inlaws visited , who had never seen the track, so I took them to the track buffet breakfast. The best thing about it is there is no wait unlike most of the good breakfast places in town. My main complaints were 1) neither grits nor oatmeal were offered, my wife is a vegetarian and the only selection for her were the home fries, although there was plenty of fruit there. 2) they don't have the coffee dispenser next to the buffet table anymore, so you can't refill coffee yourself and have to wait for the server to come around. There's like one server for every 30 tables, which is usually OK since it is a buffet.
The rest of the offerings were high quality (eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.). It is a great way to experience the track for the first time. The rest of the track is open at that time; I gave them a tour after we ate.
