Saratoga question

[sundaysilenceforever]

I can think of no better place to get the "Saratoga scoop" than the DT forum!

I have the immense pleasure of being able to visit Saratoga on August 19th. I have never been there and am beyond excited! I have a family reunion that weekend and managed to squeeze in that day to escape the family duties and go to the track! But chances are, I won't be able to go on Saturday, Alabama day, and it's KILLING me! Especially since Rags will more likely than not, be running in that race. I am almost in actual physical pain about it....LOL!!!

But if the opportunity presents itself, and I happen to be able to make it Saturday too, can anyone tell me....will I be able to just "drop in" if I don't get there early, or is it going to be crowded enough that day to have the possibility of not getting in? Obviously, I know I wont have a table or anything, but thats ok! I've heard that people arrive at 4 am to get their tables on big days! In my head, I am assuming not a parking space to be had later in the day, and people line up waiting to get in to see Rags.....am I wrong?

Any other suggestions for me from the Spa regulars?
