Twenty, twenty-five years ago, was the cat's meow! Now, even on weekdays, it is just too crowded and not enough coverage of other tracks! The racing is still the best, arguably, okay, maybe a toss-up with DelMar! It is like going back in time though, stop in at the bar right across from the main entrance and have a shot and a beer and you may run into Lucas or half a dozen top trainers! Worth going to but make sure your bankroll is not too much used on the favorites! Remember Onion and the original, Upset! Saratoga, 'The graveyard of favorites!' Good enough reason to go! Albany is very closeby too, and the hotels are alot cheaper!

You should do good there, Pat! Wish I could join you, make sure you get there real early to get a seat and take in the ambience! Better yet, get there about 5:30 AM and watch the horses work and they have a big crowd there with you, like three hundred others!:103631605

Yeah...I use to go to the trotters whn I was 7 years old with my old man up to Hinsdale NH...They don't run there any more..just dogs.

I'm not big on the horses though...too much capping.
