I have been to Saratoga and failed to bring a jacket. They have them there for loan. I was there as a guest of a well known trainer. They did not give me any trouble. they just said wear this jacket to your seat and then feel free to leave it on your chair. Might not be the same reception everyone gets, but as soon as they knew who I was with they handled it witht he best customer service ever. The trainer wasn't even there. Just by name they knew how to handle it.
Also, fun story first time I ever had brunch on the porch at Saratoga we had to pay off the maitre'd. Even though we were with a name trainer. We were like what the heck? And so we watched, he would say there was no seats until someone discreetly slip him some cash. We watched his pocket bulge. Fun enough, if you were too open about it he would refuse it like you offered him crack. He got busted last summer or the summer before. I bet he was pulling 5k per day on the porch.
