| - I have been coming out to Turf a few times a season for the last couple years. As a fairly seasoned horse racing fan, I will give you the real.
Yes, its old, old as the people who are here on a everyday basis. The building needs an upgrade but the vintage/classic look has more upside than you would think
The food is not the greatest, its a horse track. Even if your a baller spending about $9 for a fancy spot, the food is still avg, because its a horse track, in Arizona!
I would suggest having lunch before you come and maybe have some popcorn or a hotdog to help with the booze.
The Booze, oh yeah, should get to that.
Stay away from the draft beer inside, not sure the last time they cleaned the taps but I won't make the mistake of a draft again. Mixed drinks are typical, outside you can get a pretty good bloody mary between $5-$7.
Speaking of outside, if you are with a group that is just hanging for the afternoon, hang out at the bars outside for the awesome cost of $2 admission, can't beat it.
Now when it comes to the betting, if you are looking to make a lot of money, would suggest looking at the tracks on the TV's inside, your payout is based on how much is put on the type of bet within that race, and at Turf, its not a lot. Best way to make a lil money is group your bets with friends and double down, but watch your kitty, only bet 10% of your betting money total per race..Just a thought.
Also, Turf is so up and down you are prolly best just betting on a horse by its name, real talk.
So don't get your hopes up and expect the worst and you will have blast.
