Dollar Sundays are the only way to go. $1 beers, $1 hot dogs, and neither is fancy but it's good to go. Good ol time, family friendly.
Katelyn ButtaroJune 10, 2013Most Sundays are Dollar Days (check their calendar to be sure). $1 beers + $1 hotdogs = a good time. Unfortunately they ran out of hotdogs pretty early, but the beers were flowing until the 7th race!
Regina WaltonJune 15, 2014Go on a Dollar Day, which they have on Sundays. Dollar parking, admission, drinks (water, cheap beer, and sodas) and hot dogs. You can pay $2 a person to go up to the box level (better views).
Jetset ExtraJuly 9, 2012This is the only live thoroughbred racing venue left in the San Francisco Bay Area. Live racing is held on Thursday through Sunday during racing season, with up to 10 races each day. Read more
Eran EshelFebruary 2, 2014Dollar Sunday? Just come on over. Newbies prepare yourself before you arrive as there's little here to explain itself. GO GO "#4 see ya when I see ya"!!
ZipcarJune 6, 2011Take a Zipcar for a day to see the ponies. Whether you go to look at the horses or to throw a couple of wagers down, we can all agree on one thing: oversized hats are making a comeback.
Christine VilarOctober 3, 2010Couple's shower in the "Director's Room!" Beautiful view. Great venue for a special occasion where your guests get trashed and lose money
Dustin RyenJanuary 29, 2012Sundays are Dollar days. $1 beers, $1 admission, $1 parking, $1 hotdogs. Highly suggest checking it out!!!
Lorna DietzJune 5, 2010Recommended as a place for fundraisers! David & Hazel took me to my 1st horse race with Turf Club buffet food & a front-row luncheon seat high up! Now I know what Preakness Stakes are about. Read more
Charlie PenaflorSeptember 22, 2011Movies and TV did no justice for me. I tried to look presentable by wearing a blazer. Don't do it! People will be betting on you instead of the horse! Better yet, don't shower...you'll fit right in.
GREE GamesAugust 15, 2011Go here and you might find your own Robot Unicorn racing during Dollar Days! (which are Sundays)
Kouros MohitJune 9, 2010Go there in big race events. There are usually many other activities like wine tasting.
Make sure they are having races on dollar day or there is a real depressing crowd..
Richard DavisMarch 18, 2011The food is so NASTY, make sure you eat before you arrive ... if you have no other choice get the club
Jonathan PercySeptember 21, 2010Pretty sure I saw Charles Bukowski inside watching the satellite races.
