Breakers OTB in Henrico has a walk up betting tent on big days like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont & Breeders’ Cup.

The Breakers OTB site features a walk-up betting tent on their outdoor patio which fans can access from the sidewalk in front of the building. This was a very popular option with horseplayers on Derby Day and is expected to be on Preakness Day.
