I’m at Turf Lounge where you eat fantastic food while betting on the horses come ON. I’ve only bet on horses once before, at Woodbine.
Made many new friends:
Top left is Winnie and Gordon and top right is Dan, one of those real genuine guys. In the middle is Frank who works there and is awesome; make sure to sit at his bar if you go.
Missing is Nick, “no I don’t wanna be on your blog”, and who taught me a new favourite line: Well NAME HERE, of all the men I’ve met in my life, you were one of them.
I find the betting process confusing (win, show, trifactor, boxed in, WTF); watch the below video to see absolutely zero information enter my brain.
Betting is provided by Champions Off-Track Wagering, they have 25 locations in and around Toronto featuring races from Woodbine, Mohawk and around North America. You won’t find Turf Lounge in their location list though, ha. They invited me back, “you gonna come back and make a proper episode Keri?” and yup, sure am fellas.
