I agree totally. Not only do not all people enjoy coming to Saratoga, but not all Saratogians love the town tripling in size for 6 weeks for horse racing. I am a huge fan but very glad when its all over too.
6 weeks is plenty and I think they have the ideal window (July 26th - Sep 4th) for it the way it stands now.
Labor Day may not be the most popular weekend of the meet, but I think its a great idea having racing here. I for one cant stand Labor Day, and without the track that weekend I'd go out of my mind. Love the somewhat recently added Labor Day weekend of racing.
