Bronze at The Entrance
Went to the horse races last week (and today) and had a great time. The park was originally built to hold some of the equestrian events for the Seoul Olympic games. After the games were finished, they turned it into a racetrack.

Minimum bet is 100 won (about six cents) maximum bet is 100,000 won (about sixty US dollars). To bet, you fill out a ticket and take it to the cashier. Pay the cashier and she'll (all of them were women) give you a receipt. Take the receipt and your ticket and feed them into the machine next to the cashier's window (receipt first) and it'll give you something that looks like the above.
There's a better set of directions along with pictures in a brochure that can be picked up at the entrance of the foreigners' lounge.
