I agree! What a great opening weekend, I am so excited! The only downfall is I have to miss twilight Friday for a wedding. Who in their right mind gets married on opening weekend of Saratoga?!?!?

Did you check the AMTRACK schedule yet for departure times from Manhattan?

Let me know as I'm interviewing a candidate Thursday for an open position on my staff. If she takes it, I might be able to make SAR that weekend also. I'll let her cover my sport assignments that weekend if I can get her on board that quickly! :)

There is a train that departs at 7:45, arriving 11:16, and one leaving from Saratoga at 7:07, arriving back at 10:45 (same schedule Saturday and Sunday, I believe). I may switch my reservation and do that.

Fingers crossed your interviewee takes the job!

I'll be there....just found out my husband arranged a surprise weekend.

This is my first visit, so PLEASE, can I get advice about how to get clubhouse seats, see the training track, whether or not to go to the breakfast and tours that I read about on the Toga site? What are the best parties after the races?

Also, where's everyone meeting up? This will be my first time meeting anyone, except Genuinerisk, so I won't be able to just recognize anyone.

Thanks for any advice and help.

He's always at the main stand directly behind the center of the carousel which I guess is considered the simulcast center. Beware if he's wearing his ninja black chef suit and approach the quarter pole with reverence and w/o a pen in your hand.

Thanks. Looking like a great day Sunday, especially if Street Sense runs.

If there's a DT meeting spot of sorts that day, love to meet everyone.

I doubt I'll get a chance to make a second trip until we head up for Travers week.

Breakfast Buffet is OK (I'd make reservations if you can). Best view of the horses in the morning though is bringing a breakfast and taking it up to an owner's box and watching the works from there.

I'd call to see if there are any seats available. Worse case, if you have to go Grandstand, the view is still pretty decent and the area isn't too badly crowded.

yea that's pretty much the meeting place and then most scatter throghout the park. Steve can point most of us out and the DeeTee Stables and DerbyTrail hats will be a sure give away.
