An End of a Great Era
Northville Downs is a great place. But I heard the last time I was there they may be closing in November. No plans have been made for a new place for horse racing in Michigan. I went on friday which was dollar night. It was fun to watch the horses run. It was also fun to bet too. However the interior was old and beat up. It would not surprise me if they closed down since no renovations are being made. The carpet is 1970 royal blue and badly needs to be vacuumed and tables wiped. Overall the whole place needs to be cleaned but if it closes in november all of this makes perfect sense. It was said a new place would be found but as of now- nothing. this is why I believe when this place closes that will be it. New homes, restaurants and business will occupy the space. They will cost some big bucks too. All perfectly understandable too. I go because I want to say I went to the last race track in the metro area.

Best entertainment bang for your buck
Free parking, free admision at a typical worn out old facility, typical worn out old crowd. Look around and ask. "Am I smarter than these people or are they smarter than me?" They are your competition. Read up on the subject. Learn how to read the program. It's not that hard to come out ahead. We sat in the clubhouse so we could get a table and be out of the cold. On a nice day I'd be on the rail listening to the thunder of hoofbeats. Two of us had sandwiches. One had fish and chips, total with tip was $37. Fine for what it was. On Saturday they have a buffet I haven't tried yet. Horse racing of all kinds is fast becoming an anachronism see it while you still can, even though this is not the Kentucky derby it's still fun!

Good time
This was our first time at horse racing so I really don't have much to compare to, but the staff seemed under trained. As people who have never been to a horse race we struggled getting help on how to place bets. Also it seems a little aged, particularly the bathrooms.
