Please tell me you are kidding! Camarero is the world's worst track

oaklawn is great. great racing, track, and the food and drinks are the best. lots of things to do in surrounding area and places to eat around the lakes. and if you are a lover of eye candy you will probably go blind.

Fairgrounds in February, Oaklawn in March or April.

Way the wind whips through her first floor grandstand, Keeneland might be the coldest place on earth.

I got burned like a lobster one year and every year since I've froze my nuts off

Of the three you mentioned, definitely Oaklawn if racing is all you want.

My preference for a vacation centered around racing would be Gulfstream in the winter.
