Horse Racing Event Reviews

Great day out

Well run event. Plenty of clean toilets. Food and bar choices were great. Highly recommend a visit.

Race day with family. Atmosphere fantastic and horse’s amazing

This was my first Preakness and I loved it! I purchased the Mug and Vine package and honestly only used the unlimited drink option once because it was more convenient to just buy beverages at other areas since the pours were small and forced you to have to enter a corral to get a refill (definitely could be better organized inside the tent). Needless to say, next time I’ll try the clubhouse option and save navigating the crowds to view the races and get sustenance to the festival minded crowds. So although the infield activities were were great to experience, I think I’d prefer to enjoy the majority of my time in the Grandstand, Clubhouse, or Turfside Terrace next year and then enter the infield sparingly.

This was a great experience. Was on my bucket list. At 75 this event was easy to get around in. Parking at the fair grounds and riding the bus right to the gate on Oaks and Derby day was a breeze. Everyone at the event were so helpful. We met so many new people and made new friends. If you have thought about going please go on and book for next year. This will be derby 150 so it should be big.

Good day had by all

Brilliant

A great day out at the racing

We did have a great day , service at red rum restaurant (table7) was perfect waiter outstanding always on the lookout if anybody needs a drink, one minus is 4 people missed on a starter as had none pork left so that was a bit disappointing, after that fantastic day, best venue in Scotland

Far too many people for a course that just doesn’t have the facilities to cope

Total disorganisation at bars and toilets stood 45min to get a drink took 20min to get through crowds to get outside and to cap it all another 40min que for toilets. Left before grandnational, won't be back

Great venue for racing. I was in the Frontrunner restaurant and had excellent food and service. However, I was appalled with the bill for 2 chicken sandwiches. In addition, there was an additional service charge for who knows what? 2 chicken sandwiches, 1 cheap bottle of wine, and a dessert was $225.00.... Riduculous

Had a wonderful time at Frontrunner. Next time I’d like to be able to request a table closer to the entry area. Being somewhat disabled makes it difficult to walk the very long distance to the other end of the restaurant.

4th year on the trot with friends. Great venue whether you follow horse racing or not it great fun. A must go everyone.

Great food/service.Ticketmaster a challenge!!

Excellent. Ticketmaster ticketing system quite challenging!

Great fun day out

Lovely staff, good food, great day

Getting there was a very good into Santa Anita race track the clubhouse helpers very nice and informative I appreciate that also getting my vouchers was very good but I had problems lines very long but when I got to the front they ran out of food they did not inform us 30 minutes other than that I had a great time

Beautiful venue, quality racing, perfect weather. Because it was opening day, the crowds were huge, but still plenty of room to get around and get close to the horses. The betting windows are mostly automated, which is a bummer. And, the food and drink lines were very long. I suggest buying tickets early for better seating and avoid general admission. Parking was free and plentiful.
