Saratoga Opening Day
 

I'll be there........hope there's no change of heat cancellation??

See you Steve!

This place is really starting to slip.
T-minus 2 1/2 days to the Spa and still no "What's the weather going to be at Saratoga threads?"

It has to be the time change for the show. What a horrible decision by that awful company.

If anyone ends up having 3x clubhouse seats for Saturday for sale, feel free to PM me. Looking forward to a great weekend and meet.

Everyone is too focused on betting win and place on the two chalks from each race

:)

You know Knicks, it's called Dutching..............:rolleyes:

More like Dutch Oven

I'm very familiar with that technique, although I'll admit that Mrs. MaTH doesn't seem to be that big a fan of it. :D

:tro:

Some pretty cool Historical photos in the Times Union today.

Enjoy :)

Very cool!

One of the great aspects of the SPA, if you took a modern day black n white photo essay, a good many of the pictures would still look the same.

The Bijou (pic 56), early 1990s. I have some "vague" memories of that place. :zz::D

I noticed #48 has people in the infield. Does anyone know when they stopped this practice????

Great stuff.................thanks!

I don't think the tank top was appropriate, but your jeans rock Dave.

Attachment 1788

Early 1980s. Last time I remember being out there was the 1982 Travers.

Come on Mike. It was all about showing off the "guns" back in the day. ;)

And yes, the acid wash did rock. :eek:

The "How can I get free PPs for Saratoga" thread will get out of the gate first.

I've been to opening day for about 15 years straight and I have to say this is one of the more interesting cards I've seen in quite some time. Can't remember the last opening day when it was just a sunny and pleasant day in the low 80's.
It's usually one extreme type of weather or another. Either way, it looks to be a fun day!

Those are guns?:zz:
