I like Santa Anita

For all of the above reasons, I really enjoy Santa Anita as the host. Not only is there great weather, the venue is BIG and you can easily do general admission and still arguably get seats or at least sit on those platforms. Traffic is the only issue around LA, but it's not that much of a problem.

Churchill isn't that nice and it's generally far too cold that time of year, but I'll probably still go. Keeneland is a great track but cold, small, and expensive. The smaller feel is sorta cool to chit chat with others, especially friendly southerners, though.

Keeneland got a tough break with the weather and still put up great numbers. Expecting to see it back in Lexington in the next 5 years.

I would actually lay odds somewhat against this. It is possible though.

The weather wasn't that bad..chilly in the morning but could have been far worse. Have been there for spring and fall meets that were much colder.

I'll be there

I have connections tickets on Saturday, but not Friday. I'm wondering if anyone has tickets, knows someone who does, or has recommendations for procuring a ticket/entry to Del Mar on Friday. It seems like you guys have stated that you can't drive in there unless you have a parking pass, so I'm wondering if you should Uber to the dropoff point and then walk to the gates to meet a scalper?

Thanks in advance.

The biggest surprise for me was how everybody pretty much cleared out after the 7th or 8th race
