Santa Anita Racetrack is a world-class racing facility. Horse racing does not is not as popular as it use to be or not as flare as in the past, however, Santa Anita Racetrack seems to be one of the frontrunners in setting the bar in quality race horse racing.

In terms of the horse racing, Santa Anita Racetrack offers the best. Always expect to see very good horses to race here on a regular basis. You will see lots of stakes races, and the quality of the horses is one of the reasons why I visit Santa Anita Racetrack often. Besides, I only live a few mile from Santa Anita Racetrack. I visit the track just about every weekend that horse racing takes place at Santa Anita Racetrack.

No matter where you are in the park you have a great view of the races all while surrounded by beautiful mountains and sky. And to top it off, the prices at Santa Anita Racetack are cheap($5/person) to get in at Santa Anita Racetrack. Santa Anita Racetrack has plenty of space on the grounds and in the bleachers for general admission and lots of "not as bad as you would imagine" food, and pretty surprisingly stiff drinks.

Santa Anita Racetrack has a history that makes this place great. There is a certain buzz about the place because of its history.

In addition, the venue is pretty big. Expect to do some walking if you are the type that enjoys to look at the horses at the paddock and walking circle, as I do, then make it back to your box seat. Therefore, I suggest that you wear comfortable shoes.

The one major disadvantage it seems like there are not enough betting stations to meet the amount of people that go here as compared to other racetracks that I have visited.

In addition, the valet service is great here. Good service and good value. However, it really is not needed at Santa Anita Racetrack.

I like the clubhouse at Santa Anita Racetrack and always use the side entrance to access the clubhouse directly. As far as I am concerned, this is the best way to get a seat. Also remember to make box seat reservations well in advance for the Big Cap Day and Santa Anita Derby.

Santa Anita Racetrack does require that you must wear suit if you are in the Turf Club. It is only $20 for the Turf Club. Other racetracks usually run you up to $40 for the turf club. A Turf Club visit is always good if you have a date or feel like being classy for the day.

One of my favorite parts of the Santa Anita Racetrack is the paddock and walking ring. This is where you will see the well-groomed scenery, and statues of previous Santa Anita Derby jockey silks. One of the things that stand out to me is the statue of Seabiscuit in the middle of the walking ring. Either way, I feel this is one of the most beautiful parts of the racetrack, and you really get to stand really close to the horses before they head down the tunnel and into the main track.

Overall, given the history of the Santa Anita Racetrack, this continues to be one of the brighter stars in horse racing venues in the west coast. With Santa Anita Racetrack being so popular, expect to run into issues where big crowds play a role - so expect that there be long lines for service-related aspects of visiting the racetrack.
