Having just returned from Saratoga, Arlington sadly will never be the same to me again. The searches of computer bags and coat pockets will irratate me more than usual and forgetabout the 5 dollar beers (no beer allowed to be brought in) and tellers who want you to bet on their schedules. It is a beautiful track but is rotten in so far as the way it is managed and the racing (except this Sat) it provides. How many races can you stand with 5-6 horses in each going for a 10K tag or less?
That said thanks for the heads up. There aren't many local horses to be afraid of, that's for sure!
