As part of my cousin's bachelor party this past Saturday we spent the better part of the afternoon…read moredown at River Downs to take in some horse racing. This was actually my first time at River Downs, though I have been to Turfway once before. There is no entry fee and there are no employees at the gates checking bags, so entry is perfectly painless. Our group arrived on a school bus, taking the long way to get there, so we missed the first race of the day. I sat out betting on the second race and eventually placed a trifecta bet on the third race after finding the ATM. I didn't win this time, and that trend continued for the fourth and fifth races too. We spent the majority of the time hanging out near the rail on the paved standing area in front of the open air grandstand. Beers were just $4.50, which is much better than most other sporting events. And since they didn't check anyone coming in, I wonder if some patrons didn't sneak in some of their own beer in the multiple coolers that I saw throughout the day. My luck changed during the sixth race of the day. After coming close to winning on one of the earlier races, and paying attention to what my program was saying versus the results of the day, I started catching on. Or at least I thought I was starting to understand it all. Most of my bets were either trifecta bets, or I would occasionally pick one horse to win, place, or show, as I did in the sixth race. In my program the #6 horse was listed as 10-1 odds to win, and a couple of minutes before post the large board in the infield displayed the odds as much higher, over 20-1. Once I saw this I ran to one of the automated machines and bought the ticket above. I thought that maybe there was something that I wasn't picking up on that lowered the odds, but I figured it was worth a few bucks to find out. As the race started horse #6 was nowhere near the front of the back. The board only updates for the first 3/4 of the race at best, so as the horses all come toward the finish line it is really hard to tell who is in the lead. As this race came to a close I watched as #6 charged up the inside rail and won the race! I had won $124.80! With just two races after that, I made a couple of bucks off the seventh race and was then put in charge of making a bet for my dad, brother, and I who pooled some money together. Again I went with the win place show bet, and nearly won again as the horse I selected finished in fourth place. Bummer. We had a great time and I look forward to going down to the track again in the future. Kim has already said that she wants to go too.

From the start knock down your expectations a few pegs and then knock them down a few more for good…read moremeasure, this isn't Keeneland, Churchill Downs or even like the race parks you've seen in movies (most recently Bounty Hunter comes to mind), this is River Downs. It is an older facility with little updating and that's what I find so charming, that it looks similar to what it did when my grandparents took us as kids (don't judge). If you've never bet on the ponies, this is a good place to start with free parking, free admission, $2 for your race book, $2 bets and the option to bring your own picnic lunch. I cannot comment on the concessions because it is there's an option to bring my own food, I'm on it (for nutritional reasons). Not a gambler? Then the people watching is sure to delight, you will see clientele you've never laid eyes on at other entertainment venues, but it takes all types to populate Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, right?! We find something for the whole family at River Downs, pony rides for kids and the ability to get down on the rail during live racing. Shade and tables for the older family members to sit and eat a picnic lunch (no alcohol or glass can be brought in) between races while studying the race book. It's an annual summer trip for us!

A couple of summers ago, we made it out to Lawrenceburg Speedway for its annual "Night of…read moreDestruction," what with school-bus races, a lawnmower derby, and the like. Naturally enough, this prompted a positive Yelp review. I compared Lawrenceburg Speedway to an attractive old minor-league ballpark and encouraged city highbrows to come out for a night of good cheap fun. While we were out at Lawrenceburg, our friend Larry advised us that the speedway there was "advanced" or highfalutin in comparison to Moler Raceway out in Clermont County. He was right. Lawrenceburg is slick, polished, and thoroughly mainsteam, exurban middle-class. It was pretty much inevitable that we were going to have to check out Moler. So last summer, we penetrated deep into the wilds of Clermont in the most appropriate way possible, in Larry's massive crew-cab Dodge pickup. We recently went back. If Lawrenceburg is a nice Double-A ballpark, Moler Raceway is a a straight-up knothole, gravel-strewn, all-dirt sandlot. (Or for those many Yelpers who like to call any restaurant or bar or other going concern a "dive" if it looks older than the 1990s and if less than 85 percent of the crowd falls below median U.S. income or education levels, they're going to have to come up with a whole new down-and-out term for Moler Raceway.) Moler is flat-out country. It's hidden back in a clearing in the Clermont woods, and when you finally arrive in Moler's overgrown grassy parking area, you might think you've stumbled upon an old-time backwoods tent revival meeting. Aside from the race cars and the dusty track, there are a couple of low-slung cinder-block buildings, some old wooden bleachers that have seen better days, and a shabby pressbox. (Unfortunately, there are only Port-a-Lets rather than actual bathrooms.) The seats are separated from the dirt track by a tall chain-link fence that looks patched together. In other words, it's just about perfect. A couple of weeks ago we went back for a night of racing: late models, modifieds, Chevettes, and compacts. The first two types of cars produce the most speed and power and thunder, sliding around the tight turns and kicking up big clouds of dust. (You might want to get your beer in a can rather than asking for a draft.) But it was all pretty entertaining. As I said in my Lawrenceburg review, I couldn't really care less about following motorsports or watching them on television, but as a now-and-then $13 entertainment value Moler is hard to beat.

I lasted quite some time here and did not get slaughtered too badly and ended up getting around 2100 tier points. For some reason after 2 years, not much has changed as I noticed around 70% of the games where the same. Most of the games I wanted to play are in the smoking section unfortunately and many of the people liked to hog them. The smoking section is out doors and can get really hot outside and the screens have a glare. Game wise, I do like they have a variety of volatile to low volatile games and there is something for everyone. They have a lot the old games too and played the fire house hounds and other games over there. I did get bonuses on most of the games I played, but only 1 of them ended up being really good, the rest I ended up getting my money back. They have a drink station which I wish I took more advantage of. They have a high limit room which was the same the last time I went, but a few different games. Overall, I had a good time despite me not winning. I lasted a long time, but I wish the games did pay better on the bonuses, but that is gambling like they say.

Let's talk dirty!…read more Because that's what you're gonna get at Lawrenceburg Speedway! This local staple of Lawrenceburg has decades of history. Generations of local dirt track racers giving all they got to a sport they love. Lawrenceburg Speedway is right off the highway and insanely easy to get to. It's so easy that you may miss the road to turn on to to enter the park. Well, I did. Once you get there, you find a place to park. Usually in the grass or the lot closer to the road, if it's a busy night. Check the website for schedules, tickets and pricing and also results. Lawrenceburg will give you a great night and not break the bank. I'm not a "local" to Lawrenceburg as I live North of Cincy about 35 minutes away. As an "outsider", I can immediately see the community here. These are families and friends who come together for some racing and fun and have a great time. You can tell that some of these folks are here week-after-week and this is what they do. It's fantastic. So, you get through the ticket window, walk past the security officer and you're in the park. Hit the refreshment stands early. They don't get crazy busy, but it gets a little dusty once the action starts. You hit the grandstands and it's a seat-yourself deal. No assigned seats. Find a place and park it. Let the action begin. Everything from little four-bangers to buses at this track. And, again, it's always a good time. When you're there, in the stands, it could be 2024 or it could be 1964. It really could. This is just good old fashioned fun. That's it. Guys and gals working hard all week, coming home and eating dinner before they go out to the garage to pound out their ride for Saturday's race. They work hard and they play hard. It's Saturday and it's showtime. They give it all they got and it's an overall great time. Would I go back? Heck yeah! I can't wait for the 2024 season to fire up. Let's go racing!!!! Pro Tip(s): Okay - If you've never been to a dirt track before, you should know a couple of things. If you don't wear glasses, you may want to bring some. You may even want to bring safety glasses. It can get very dusty and, depending on where you're sitting, mud pellets can travel. I choose to throw on my prescription shop safety glasses. Bring a mask or a bandana. The bandana looks cooler. "For COVID?" No! For dust and mud, just like the glasses. Depending on the day, that dust bowl can be dense. I prefer to breathe so I always have a bandana in my pocket, just in case. Don't get all dolled up. Why? Same reason as the glasses and bandana........it get's dirty out here, y'all!! That's dirt track racing. Last Pro Tip - Go to the Concession Stand BETWEEN races/heats. You do not want to be standing there during a race or qualifying. You WILL be showered with mud pellets. This is not a maybe.........this is a guarantee. If you don't believe me, look down when you're walking by the Concession Stand. You see all those mud marbles? Yeah, they didn't just gently roll over there. The rained down in brown waves of glory.
