How many of you will attend the Saratoga Meet as often as you have in the past (in and out of towners)

With the price of everything being up will that limit your attendance?

Officially I will do everything in my power to be there for my 12th out of the last 15 years from South Carolina.

Unoffically can you lend me some money?

I am going to try to make it up there for a day or two with my 5 year old son. I haven't been there since he was born.

I'm going to be there less than usual, but it has nothing to do with gas prices, etc.

Opening weekend for sure, probably closing weekend, and possibly Sword Dancer/Alabama day.

While I'm missing Saratoga, I am hitting up Del Mar for Pacific Classic day. Does that count for something?

Do you have a fat chart as your avatar?

If so, which race?

no, that's a chart that shows the correlation between drop in amount of pirates per year compared to the rise in global temperature.


edit~ not per year, per century perhaps. as you can see, with the current approximate amount of pirates being 17, we have our highest global temps in quite some time. obviously a connection between the two.

I'll be there for an extra weekend. I usually make it up there for one long weekend this year it will be two, Opening weekend (Fri - Sun) and Alabama / Sword Dancer Weekend (Thurs - Sun). Where else can you see 5 Grade 1 races in two days?

Ps. I'm really looking forward to trying a Carolina BBQ Lobster Roll - Hope it doesn't dissapoint Mr. Byk.


Also I should have some extra seats (6) in Section M for Wednesday 8/13 and Monday 8/18. Send me a PM if you're interested.
