My list of racetracks visited is one that I am very proud of, and always working on. As of a few weeks ago, I'm happy to report that I hit 54, and it was a home run. Ascot, and the Royal Meet, in particular, was without question, the most spectacular venue in which I've ever had the pleasure of attending a day at the races. The question now becomes, what will be #55?

On my tally below, I only count thoroughbred racetracks where I've seen live racing. I've been to a few, but no harness or simulcast-only visits make my personal list, as I'm a thoroughbred purist, and it's all about seeing live racing. I'm determined to reach 55 this year, and that is where you come in ... In the comments section below, I want you to tell me which track should be next on my list. I'm going to choose one of your selections to visit for the first time, and as soon as possible. Let the suggestions commence!
