The Derby

If you want a unique place for lunch and enjoy watching horse racing, we found the nicest restaurant.  In Cloverdale you can go to Elements Casino and watch live horse racing in their restaurant.  We don't gamble but enjoy watching the races.  Fraser Downs has been around for years and Elements Casino built around the race track.

Another restaurant, not at a racetrack but with plenty of televisions to watch racetracks across North America is The Derby.  It's located on First Avenue right by the Pacific Border Crossing.

Today's races being shown on the many televisions:

Saratoga H 9:00 AM

There is a betting window so if you want to place a bet, no problem.  This is the location my friend bought her winning ticket on the Kentucky Derby.  The Belmont Stakes and Preakness will be big events there and both days they are offering an all day buffet.

There is a television with a remote control at each booth!
A VIP room for the extra special guests

The bar is named "I'LL HAVE ANOTHER'"
I'll Have Another was the winner of the 2012 Kentucky Derby and owned by a Canadian!
The big screen TV's are showing the big racetracks across the country and you can view and bet live!  It was fun to watch the races.

The food was good.  They have specials every day. I was too busy watching the races to take pictures of our lunch.  Cec and I had a chicken and avocado salad.
