We had a great day at the race track! This was my first time and I know NOTHING about betting. Luckily, I was with some people who knew what to do. We bought a Groupon that included a program, $5 for concessions/beer, valet parking, and $2 for betting. Great buy! Highly suggest getting a program. It will detail how to bet and provide all the information about the races going on that day. Draft beer prices were really reasonable too, which was a great surprise.
