Gimme six stars if I can! Such a cool place. Friday is $1 beer and $1 hot dog night so that's the time to go if you wanna bet on the ponies on a budget.
I had never bet on horses before coming here and when I did, it wasn't the thoroughbreds, it was the quarter horses. Green little things that can run for sure, but they're not experienced. PRO TIP: Bet on the jockeys. With new horses, you have to rely on the jockey to tell his ride how to race.
I helped someone land a Trifecta with this very strategy. Should've bet my own money...
