The only people who don't say Saratoga will be the ones who haven't been there.

"Opening Game" at Cincinnati, when it was always the first baseball game of any season, used to be really special. But MLB screwed it up.

Belmont Spring Meet. After 6 months at the Big A, the weather is getting nice and the derby is usually a week away.

Hands down this coming Saturday. Opening day at Tampa will always be heads and shoulders above everything else to me, and yes I have been to opening day at Saratoga. I know the quality of horses isn't the greatest and the jockey colony is less than stellar, but the place is simply magical for me and has been for quite a few years now.
What can I say, I'm loyal to a fault.
