Default Saratoga

I was there Saturday and Sunday, Big crowds both days but on Saturday I had to park on the Oklahoma track. First time in many visits i have ever seen that.
I really enjoyed driving my car on the track. I gained respect for the horses and jocks reaching speeds of 40 mph. It took an Hour after the races to get off the track because of traffic.

Gotta leave after the feature if you drive. Just bet the last and go.

Thanks for that sage advice but I love Saratoga and I am really not in a hurry to leave.

best way to do it is just stay for an hour to so after the last race, have a few beers and bet simulcast, or go to Siro's & then off for some dinner and more beers.

They built a bar right beside the paddock (where the buffet tents were next to Clubhouse entrance) that stays open later than the rest of the track for simulcast. It's awesome!

Let's go through the list...

1. Can't rail NYRA for having good, bettable cards, because they have, despite giving away "less" money than other tracks.

2. Can't rail NYRA for weak stakes, because the stakes have been awesome, including the race of the year in the Whitney.

3. Can't rail NYRA for bizarro world stuff, because the meet has gone pretty well.

SO...

Let's get on them for language in a press release.

Perhaps randallscott can be Art Vandalay's latex salesman?
