Tips for your first night.
- Arrive before sunset. Golden hour over the track is unbeatable.
- Visit the paddock. See the horses up close as they’re saddled before each race.
- Grab a free program. Every horse, jockey and trainer — plus expert picks.
- Start with $2 Win bets. Then try an exacta once you get the hang of it.
- Head to the rail. Quarter Horse races are over in seconds — don’t blink.
