Fonner for 95% of people (outside of this year) is about getting a table with a bunch of your friends and drinking buckets of beer while betting a couple bucks on a name or number of a horse you like. It’s sometimes a welcomed break from the monotonous grind of handicapping races to just head out there and pound a few back and throw in a few bucks into a show parlay with your buddies that know nothing about racing.

Having married a woman born and raised in Nebraska I have had the opportunity to visit some NE tracks for the last 35 years. I have been to tracks all over the US and several in Europe but have never been treated better than how I was treated at NE tracks. I'll never forget my first visit to Aksarben when every teller would smile and say thank you after I was through betting. Quite a contrast from the usual gruff tellers I would encounter in CA or NY.
