LOL - I went there once upon a time.
Roamed around the place an hour before post time.
Viewed a sign on the casino door saying
"(absolutely no cameras
inside the casino)"
went to the paddock where I viewed a sign stenciled upon the wall:
"(absolutely no
flash cameras in the paddock)"
went outside into the empty grandstand where I viewed a sign reading:
"(absolutely no
videotaping of races whatsoever)".
I have no problem with any of those rules (and I did not set foot IN the casino)
But then (still at least 45 minutes before the first race, with no more than four humans in the entire grandstand seating area - and I never saw 2 such others at all) I walk to the end of the grandstand, see the beautiful horse path with white fences along the river, and only then did I remove my camera to take pictures of the horse path in the distance.
Of course some security guard (who was perhaps just doing what the {he believed} the idiots told him to do) happened along and said:
"Dey don' like cameras around heah, so wut yuz gonna do is go back to ya cah, and leave the camera in there, and den yuz kin come back to da track" (and then he watched me from afar as I walked across the lot to put the disposable camera in the car)
The puzzle remains:
Why in the fuq did they have all of those other signs in there if the rule of the day was "zero cameras allowed" ???
Oh, and then, as a kicker, something went amiss with the lights that illuminate the races, and they couldn't get them back on for 45 minutes past first post.
I managed to endure the place for 5 races, and then I left, never to return.
