Looks good.

Derby is one of the things my old man always wanted to do and never got the chance to attend.

Myself - I’d much rather do something like this and then bet the $$ I saved not attending in person on a regular damn race or 2.

Way too crowded - way too expensive and other than crowd watching, way too much traffic headache for a 2 minute spectacle.

One of these days I’m going to get around to hosting a derby party.

Would really like to go in person for the Derby one day. But these kinds of buffets and parties are a great time also. I went to Foxwoods in CT a few times for theirs and it’s done up well.

Monmouth has had this before and I’ve passed. But this year’s buffet lineup is a lot better than before.

Nice buffet at Monmouth Park for the day. I’m sure Sammy would like the Mac n Cheese bar! @samsncharge99

Awesome man. Just awesome

It was always on my bucket list to go to one but my priorities have changed a bit now so it might be a few years if I ever go. Plus just not in to huge crowds anymore

I used to always reserve a table in the turf club on the third floor of the track about 20 minutes away on Derby, Oaks and Breeders Cup days for more than a decade.

Was a lot of fun. Nowadays I’m content to go up and make me and my buddy’s bets at 10 am and come home and watch the races.

Looks like a great deal!
You ever been to the derby??

A lady I used to work with and her husband went year after year to the derby and all the big races across the country. I have derby day shirts from about 5-6 years in a row.

Sometimes at work I’d tell my boss I had a project going with her and I’d go upstairs where her office was and we’d cap the races and just talk horses for an hour or more.
