Santa Anita is my favorite of the Southern California tracks. And to be sure going for the races is fun. But you should go there for the morning workouts if you haven't already. Except for the cost of a simple breakfast, if you want one, everything is free.
I've been lucky enough to have had a couple of business trips to nearby Santa Anita. The first day I was out there I ate breakfast at my hotel. I never made that mistake again!

Never been to morning workouts. Id like to. Next season. Gd willing there will be a next season. Our fossilized Senator (the one who has arthritic jaw hinges so doesnt give the best bjs) is now shrieking about shutting down horse racing....
