Okay, here is my blog post about the Pleasanton race track:
So, I finally checked out that old racetrack in Pleasanton the other day. You know, the one they built way back in, like, 1858? It’s called the Pleasanton Fairgrounds Racetrack, and it’s right there on the fairgrounds.
I went during the fair ’cause, you know, when the fair’s in town, the horses are running. I figured I might as well see what all the fuss was about.
Getting There
- I just drove over there. Parking was a bit of a mess, but hey, it’s the fair, what do you expect?
- Once I got inside, it was pretty easy to find the track. Just followed the crowd.
At the Track
- The place is huge! I mean, it’s an old track, so it’s got that kind of historical vibe.
- I grabbed a seat and watched a few races. It was pretty exciting, even though I don’t know much about horse racing.
- People were cheering and yelling. It was a whole scene.
I didn’t stay for the whole day, but I hung around long enough to get a feel for it. I even placed a couple of bets, just for fun. Didn’t win anything, but oh well.
All in all, it was a fun experience. I’m glad I finally went. If you’re ever in Pleasanton during the fair, you should definitely check it out. It’s a little piece of history, and it’s a pretty good time.
