I should note when beginning this review that I don't bet, nor am I a hardcore horse racing fan. However I believe Golden Gate Fields is a great form of Sunday afternoon entertainment on $1 days. As others have said, admission, parking, programs, etc are only $1. Be warned, however, that the only food sold for $1 is hot dogs and ice cream sandwiches. Therefore, if you have someone with you who doesn't eat pork who wants real food they'll be stuck paying significantly more money for a cheese pizza, chicken tamale, chicken wings, or soup n' salad. You also have to pay more for real beer (not bud or bud light).
