Rain should be done by 2nd or 3rd race....make sure you don't bring anything fun with you and make sure you DO bring patience...a lil tip:if you can....handicap night before and put all your bets in for day as soon as u get there (I know an unreasonable request...)....but even on a NON triple crown possibility, you will still get 50k at Big Sandy...and most likely 49.9 k of them won't be the regular rail birds that actually know what do at the window....it's gonna be every jag off that goes to the track once every blue moon, betting #'s/colors/names/birthdays..etc...yelling at the break of every race for there $2 win wager on the Pink horse or the 4-5 favorite...not enough money to catch me ther on that day anymore...but have a good time...cheers
