![]() Thanks for the correction Steve...was thinking "stands" and did not include the carts around the track. Guess having one more won't hurt?

For those that interpret yesterday's announcement as more 'price gouging' at Saratoga, (as I saw from the buffoons that comment in The Saratogian), in fact the Danny Meyer concept will be priced BELOW the paddock area tent offerings it replaces. (But there's no need to let reality get in the way of a perceived opportunity to bash NYRA.) ![]()

![]() Some folks just want to complain. Let's face it, event food is usually expensive. Vendors who are both on and off site charge more when they have the captive audience. (Only at the track would I pay $4 for an ice cream bar!!!)
For those that want to bash NYRA over this, try feeding your family at Yankee Stadium or at a Forest Hills tennis match. Locally, food and beverage at SPAC or the arena in Albany costs plenty more than the same meal offsite. If the prices offend, bring your own, at least at the track you still can do that. I find the prices at Carolina BBQ to be quite acceptable and the food very good. Whatever your budget for a day at the track, there is a way to make it work. Don't want to slurge on food, go get a hot dog and soda at the little shack outside the clubhouse gate, it's about $4.50. Save more by bringing your own.

![]() Blue Smoke is good but just too salty...I'll stick with a pulled pork sandwich from Carolina. Actually pretty healthy.

as far as 'toga go's, if you don't like the prices, bring your own food in, one of few places who actually let you, so take advantage or don't complain about the supply and demand situation you put yourself in -bt- |
