This will be my sixth straight year... it sucks.

it's my favorite place to be in August in the entire country. doesnt get any better than Saratoga. Great racing, great town, great nightlife, and best of all, you get to see Byk 6 times a week! :D

I'd trade Sperry's for the stadium cafe though in the above list.

Leon's (thanks Steve.. that's the name I was trying to remember) is very good too. My uncle loves it and I usually go with him once a week.

But Mexican Connection is off the chain. As good as it gets for mexican food (and I lived 45 mins from mexico for 4 1/2 years). Its close to the track also.

next year for sure. Maybe missing the track for 2 years straight will make me appreciate it even more!

Damn - I hear they closed the British Pub that was out in the back. It was a great spot and it served some good beer (like Boddington's).

I also hear no more Jim Dandy Bar ? WTF

On my way for Travers week ....

One of the best couple of days in my life was being at Saratoga in August 2009. Dang good BBQ sandwhich from Joey. Great racin, good people.

Enjoyed many of the changes I saw this weekend, highlighted by DD Iced Coffee at the track and Leinenkugel's draft beer.

They really gussied up the "Post Bar." Whole place looked good.

Jim Dandy bar has been remodeled. I think it looks great. Much more room in there now. The British Racing pub, aka Bunbury's, was a fun little place, but was a dud from business perspective. Plenty of good, and cheaper, beer choices all over the track now

I think "Rock Hard Ten" changed his name to "Player Player":)
