    I have.

    And let me just say that a typical trip to the OTB is depressing on its own.

    But on Christmas eve, this is the low of the low.

    I'm happy I'm not that low any more.

      Richie, one of the best days for racing is new years day, Santa Anita opens etc...

      But Christmas eve, usually there's like 4 or 5 guys there, all looking very worn down.

      Sad.

                Me to. When my sister lived up there they would always come home during the summer. Everytime I went to visit was in the winter and the only thing that was open was arlington trackside which is the otb on arlingtons grounds.

                  Lets make plans to go there next summer for a day at the races...we'll make videos and the whole 5 yards.

                  Nothing quite like a day at the live races!

                            I hit all the NYRA tracks a couple times a year. Gotta love the BYOB rules, getting outside, I love it.

                              Last year we went to the Tampa Hard Rock at around 11pm Christmas Eve. Figured it would be dead. Wrong!

                              I played poker til about 11am Christmas morning. Around 2 am I asked the table if anyone realized that it was now Christmas. Nobody cared.

                              I'll be back there to do the same thing in a week.

                                        Nobody cares if your there on 4th of July for example, yet it is often times frowned upon on Christmas or Thanksgiving.

                                          i think the logic goes if you don't take a break at the end of the year, then you have a problem.

                                              When I was a kid my dad always took me to Santa Anita the day after Christmas. It is opening day of the meet and was always good racing.

                                                              I will be at the Seneca Falls OTB on Christmas Eve for a couple of hours. I have time to kill in that area, and playing the horses seems like a good time killer. I am hoping nobody else is there but me. Don't want to listen to anyone's moaning about being alone on Xmas..lol.
