Be prepared to participate in a simulcast tourney, especially if bad weather is forecast.
Best of Luck there!!

I was there that day too. I just finished handicapping the Beulah races when the cancellation happened. I knew I could not find 15 bets in the simulcast races on short notice, so I headed to the buffet....more than once....to get my fill before the Beulah Twins gobbled up from the trough.
I did have a good time rooting for some friends...one qualified (the current Beulah on-track handicapper), and the other buddy would have but his last bet of the day, a 12-1 shot at Hawthorne went nine wide coming down the stretch and could not get up for the win.
I think I'm staying home this time. Lots of rough weather in Ohio this week.
