I'm still eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get up extra early and read the Saratoga Special with my morning coffee and then a little after 1:00 PM to be able to watch the track announcer work the crowd and get them to chant in unison, "And they're off at Saratoga!"
Spend at least a week every year at Saratoga!!! Camp out at Saratoga Lake...party at night & study the Racing Form!!! Next day at the track. It's only a 4 hour drive from my house!!! Love it!!!
