Half mile for me - least fave 5/8ths.
i was weaned going to Liberty Bell/Brandywine--so i still love the 5/8ths
my college years were spent at freehold just after it burned down-they had the huge yellow tents as they rebuilt-so since then the i loved the half mile-the betting after the bell ruined that for me-i was a lineup bettor
also late 70s and early 80s i would watch WOR channel 9 Stan Bergstein and Spencer Ross--sometimes former Jets player John Dockery--all of those saturday nights watching racing from Roosevelt and Yonkers were fabulous
