You dont need to be here the entire 6 weeks, especially Labor Day. While it is nice that the crowds dwindle, the racing isnt all that great, save for the Forego which is a cute little sprint that I love... and it is kind of depressing as it marks the end of the summer.

Just pick any of the other 5 weekends and you cant go wrong. Every one of them has something for everybody...

Opening weekend- Marks the beginning of the meet, everybody is happy, place is sparkling clean, theres a few good races like the Diana and the Jim Dandy.

Whitney Weekend- Always a nice undercard with the Test, the Whitney is always good for a laugh or a scream.

Sword Dancer- Saratoga's premier turf race, but the real treat is you get great simulcrash action from Arlington Million Day.

Alabama- By this weekend everybody is hungover and the track is looking lie it needs a good cleaning. the fillies provide us with laughs in the Alabama. So much tradition with Farda Amiga and Society Selection.

Travers- The meet's premier race and race card with the lovable Kings Bishop. Let it all hang out because the day after card is always a letdown. The meet for all intensive purposes is over!
