| - I had a really good time out here this past summer when I headed up north to canada. My cousins, my mom, step dad and I decided to make a day of it and take a trip out to the racetrack on a sunday. It was a really great idea, we had a great summer day. Meanwhile, no one came out a really big winner in the six or so races we played all together. I believe there were 10 races all together that day. I just won a few bucks here and there on $2 win bets or $1 place and $2 win combined efforts and it was just enough money winning back from the race to help me buy more beer for the day. There were some greats on tap LE Bat, Molson and others. Prices were decent like 4.85 in canadian money ( not far off from USD actually a few cents difference). The large drink was maybe 6.25 for 24 oz so yeah I kept myself hydrated in between race watching. I think one difference between here in NY ( Belmont or Aqueduct) and this place was there were alot of visible prostitutes there too at the race track. Honestly I mean you can just tell when you see the guys that they were with and how they were dressed. It was like fuck, you know this guy looking like this with two blazin hot chicks on his arm just has straight deep pockets, maybe they were still looking around the room for their next mark after they entertained this guy. I guess sure there were a few high rollers in the crowd and I was not even in the V.I.P.
-overall a great day I must say. The most I won on any single race was about 10 Canadian dollars. Like I said, exciting raciing that included beers with the family. It was a moment I will remember. Food was decent out there too, got like Pepperoni pizza a giant slice, like really big for 2.50 but yeah way bigger than our slices over here. Got some popcorn too that was worth it being a giant portion as well for 3.50.
Quick tip : They do have slot machines here as well to play. I walked through but didn't do any time with the one arm bandit machine.
The money system there did confuse me at first, they are way more coin based. I had litterally every piece of every differet type of coin after all these beer and food runs. They have 1 dollar coins and also 2 dollar coins so yeah an outsider like me had to check it first before paying, or I would just give like a 5 dollar canadian bill and then a US 25 cent quarter and say what ever it is the same. I definitely spent over 20 on drinks alone and not even 20 placed together on all the six races, haha.
-Check this place out Woodbine if you are in the area in Canadia ( as some people like to say)
