Trackside Hodgkins – Otb

The sports bar and OTB are 1^st rate. Was in yesterday and they are opening a new patio w a fire pit, Bocce court and bags this weekend. Owners are hands on, food is great, had tequila wings app and pasta was cooked perfect. Bar is huge and there was a decent crowd when I was in. Highly recommend over some of the other OTB’s I have been at, the food is way better here!

We were driving along the freeway talking about the horse races when we saw a sign for OTB. Thats when we decided to follow the signs to make a bet on this weekends horse races. The OTB site is located right next to Salerno-​Pincente Ristorante. Admission fee is $ 1 per person.
There are a few self-​service machines where you can make your picks. and lots and lots of televisions with different races to view. The location provides service of drinks (not sure about food). Plenty of parking in the area. We had no idea how to put our picks in the machine, but it was easy to figure out once we got a racing guide that they offer when you pay your admission fee.
The website states:

Trackside facility located within the 12,700 sq. ft. restaurant features a total of 61 high definition televisions including 13 42″ Plasma televisions, 16 50″ Plasma receivers and one 63″ Plasma monitor.
