Question For Saratoga Folks

Breeders' Cup takes over for the 2 days and the norm is that all the best seats in the house-so probably all the clubhouse seats-would be taken out of circulation and their usual occupants forced to enter a lottery for seats in tents 5 miles from the finish line

I would love to know where the workforce would come from? Are you going to ship up everyone from Belmont? I would love to see the cost of that. Are you going to pay for them to stay in Saratoga for 2 or 3 days? Would you be able to find enough people to hire from this area, and have them trained for a 3 or 4 day meet?

You have to clean and have ready all the dorms, bathrooms, stables, etc.

How about all the parimutuel equipment? That all has to be shipped up and tested in a matter of hours.

What about food and bev?

There are many more logistical issues, these are just a few off the top of my head.
