My Trip to Saratoga

[dellinger63]

First of all I've been to the town but never during the meet so this was my first official trip.

This place is F'n off the charts. So much so Arlington will be hard to visit.
Steve Byk's staff Sam, Joey (Ateam) and my friend Matt (Hooves) and all the girls are constantly on the move and forever friendly. It is obviously the place to be on the track.

I can't give justice to the hospitality Steve showed us in words. It just can't be done.

It was also a pleasure meeting Gander, Oracle, who spent most of the day with us, and seeing my friend Matt for the first time in a couple of years. Steve (Kasept) is a working machine and is non-stop. We as a board and fans of racing are truly blessed to have him for what he does and the passion he shows while doing so.

I've done a lot of traveling and this was the best. Some side dishes besides the racing are the girls (unbelievable in numbers and beauty), the park itself, history you can't believe and preserved how it should be, a colony of trainers probably the best in the country who are accessable, friendly and just good guys (Bobby Frankel) spent most of Sunday at Steve's and a staff of guards, cleaning staff, grooms and excercise riders who all seem to be on a working vacation. There pretty much are no rules provided you act civil.

Bottom line is we are planning on returning, not next year but in a couple of weeks. Alabama w/e or Labor Day when we could sneak in an extra day. Thank You Saratoga and its people for making this the trip that it was. It far exceeded my expectations
