You have to realize, nobody loves Saratoga more than me, and a lot of the inconveniences felt by the masses wouldn't be as acute for me ( seating and dealing with restaurants ). However, because the POSSIBLE disaster that could accompany it so far outweighs the positives, I just feel it is logistically impossible. When Saratoga gets in the mid 60s, which it certainly did last year during Labor Day weekend, it is uncomfortable. I shudder to think how bad it would be if it was even 10-15 degrees colder. And, quite frankly, it rates to be even worse than that.
Agree (esp the Belmont comment). I was on the grounds for the Fall Mixed Sale on October 15 and froze my butt off.
