if you use the wifi at Gulfstream for another adw other than xpressbet, you get automatically directed to the xpress bet website signup screen.
they didn't have it at Santa Anita and Pimlico though.

No coolers, no laptops. It's almost as if they purposely want you to stay home. No problem, I will!

But if you stay, home, you won't watch them on TVG....no Belmont it appears.

Exactly, some Belmont Stakes days it was impossible to even make a call. They are actually trying to make the whole backside free wi fi right now for the workers.

11 grand.
Where NYRA put this includes an area you could bring your seats, chairs & coolers. Burnsy plays from here. There's people that have been coming to this spot for decades. Now it's this.

For that much, you could buy a horse and see the paddock FROM the paddock.

That problem also comes up at Saratoga on big race days. One of the reasons I have a NYRA card is so I can have access to my NYRA account via the machines in case I can’t get any access to the internet via phone and tablet. Usually some locations within the track are better than others.
I’m pretty sure I’ve had the same issue at other tracks on big race days, but I can’t remember the specifics.

That is quite the overhead to even try to break even.
Then again, you buying those seats it isn't about betting the ponies anyway.
