Hey, maybe it's just me, but I don't mix my thoroughbred appreciation with gambling in machines or at tables.

To me, a trip to Saratoga is almost like a trip to a National Monument. I would hate to cheapen it with the slot machine sounds of some of the tightest and most overrated casinos in the world.

I do know those casinos are nice, because I've been to both.

But to me, mixing them with what is Saratoga is a no-no.

If it were me, I'd focus on good food, good beverages, and solid Saratoga wagering.


If you want a side trip, check out Cooperstown, or Lake George, or Ticonderoga....

....or for that matter, check out some scenery in nearby Vermont.

anything but a tacky casino.
