Been awhile since I've visited the 'Shoe but you shouldn't have a problem. The establishment's main purpose is apre-racing. There is a huge tent outside for drinking, bands, dancing, etc. For breakfast I think they put some tables out there. There is a stockade fence around the property though so for a view you need to be on the little deck off the building, or walk to the one of the restaurant entrances. If you can see the pic, to the right is the entrance to the backstretch adjacent to the 7F chute where starting gate is.
If you have any friends in the biz, try to get access into there and get an egg sandwich. Or, as Suff famously and accurately said "racetracks are porous places..." You could probably work your way to the backstretch if you felt like trying.
