What are the 2008 Saratoga giveaways?

I know they are behind with everything after being messed around by the politicians-but with only 8 weeks to go they still have the 2007 giveaways up on the NYRA site.

I presume they'll start with a Cornelio bobblehead on the 24th....

Hopefully no more lawnchairs that can't hold 150lbs and umbrellas that last 1 or 0 uses-compared to the last umbrella giveaway there (3 or 4 years ago)-which lasted for months not hours before becoming useless

I think the give-a-ways include a belt buckle, a golf tee, bottle of lotion, Saratoga red light bulb, a bookmark and a dog treat.

Seriously, I'm not sure. They always have the best line-up of give-a-ways, and a lot of it is relatively high quality. Some of the lunch boxes, hats and t-shirts I still use to this day.

I prefer sunset racing. Give aways are just that. Give the shiit away.

Only July 26th they'll be giving away money when Zanjero wins the Whitney (GI). Does that count?

Not if Curlin is in the race...

I would have surely thought that you would have suggested Casino Drive bobblehead day.

Free Ribs?

I heard NYRA was giving away a bobble "head" of Spitzer's hooker. She did more for the future of racing in NY than anyone else last year.
