It was made all the more special by the naming of the Walter Shinder Memorial Race in honor of my husband's father, who introduced him to the sport of kings at an early age. From the event coordinator, Amy to our in-suite bartender, Marty, and including a special visit from social media director Rodney and a serenade by the official bugler, we and 21 of our best friends all enjoyed a day to remember for a long time to come. The environment was lovely, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. It was nothing short of a spectacular day. So in honor of Memorial Day and as his belated birthday celebration this year, that's what we did.

My husband has been a horse racing aficionado all his life, and since we live in the DFW area, Lone Star Park is his "home track." We often take friends to Silks, and It's been a dream of his, for a while, to rent a penthouse suite and throw a big party. Standing room is always ample and visitors are welcome to bring blankets and lawn chairs for use in the grassy areas in front of Bar & Book and the Courtyard of Champions, a picnic area with limited seating and great views of the track.A (very special) day at the races - An Eventective User from Rowlett TX General Admission does not include a reserved seat. Guests are admitted to the first level of the Grandstand featuring concessions, wagering services, and the track’s gift shop.
