Looks like 3W didn't need much help.  I've always said if you can cap the croft, other places are a piece of cake.

Thanks Hal.

Lost some very large pick 4 tickets and had a nice beer and food tab at trotters ( horsemans) restaurant.

We were thoroughly disappointed in the experience and the new facility though.

Its about 3.5 hours from RCR to the big M. A journey I make about 2 times a year most years.

That wont be happening anymore unless my friend has a horse in a big race.

I don't see what the new facility offers that the old one doesn't? Its way to cramped and its not even banked outside were you stand to watch the races.

To be honest to stand watch a race Chester is far superior.

People were very nice.

I just don't see making the drive for that.

It feels more like a casino than a racetrack now.

Just my opinion. Anyone who loves it now more power to you.

Well after watching the replays, you would have been better off with a sales catalog than a program.mwith 8 entered in the sale, there were 5 winners and a second.....

3W although the facility didn't meet our expectations, at least you can say you did it.

With Miami Valley opening in a couple of weeks, I have already seen the failures of this building. Hopefully the paddock area is received well by the horsemen.

It is the worst track Ive been to to actually watch a race. Ive been to almost all of the mid atlantic ones from colonial to yonkers.

It is very disappointing. The sight lines are just poor.

It has all the ambience of an airport or a mall that happens to offer live racing on Fridays or Saturdays.


I used to really enjoy my couple of trips a year up there but its really not worth the drive to me.

I can watch it on the TV at home or at the local OTB.
