Will #50 Be a Big One?
Well, with a little more than a month left to 2014, it looks like I will not be visiting any new tracks for the rest of the year. I was able to add a couple this year, in Finger Lakes and Presque Isle Downs, as part of my four tracks in four days adventure. Below you can see every thoroughbred racetrack in which I have seen live racing. The count currently stands at 49. I have visited a few more than my age, but 50 is a goal I've been wanting to reach now for several years, so you can bet that it will happen in 2015.
You'll see that I have some pretty surprising omissions, feel free to tell me which track you think I absolutely need to get to as soon as possible. As you can see, I desperately need to see some races outside of North America. Also, I am very curious as to how many of you out there can put my list to shame. Let me know you think; what should #50 be ... Meydan? Ascot? Longchamp?
