It's a place to congregate with fellow horseplayers and talk horses in person.
It's that the racing sucks for half the card. The product is bad.
I go to the track every year - Saratoga as much as I can. (I won't spend two and half hours driving to Aqueduct, or even Belmont anymore with all the tolls - to see a deserted grandstand.)

I go to live racing. And Belterra really screwed up the live racing track setup. The old River Downs was far more comfortable and nice. I miss it. But I like being on track for live racing and playing and I like camaraderie between players. When there is no live racing I prefer betting from home. Now that I have my own printing press at home I love being snowed in during the winter playing races from down south!
