I live about a 10 min walk from the track and this place is half that distance.

But yes, it is opening weekend for sure. I would assume you would want this place at least Friday & Saturday night. That would work out fine.
I am not certain on what weekend yet, so don't include me on the head count on the house rental. Also, as long as her health is ok, I am going to bring my Grandmother along. She saw Toga during the ESPN broadcast and made it a point to tell me she wanted to go sometime soon.

His place would be perfect for you and your Grandma. You wouldnt have to drive anywhere all weekend once you get to his place. I dont think anyone realizes how hard it is to find hotels here, so I wouldnt wait too long. Hard to get gamblers to want to spend money on anything besides vouchers, I know that!

Yea we're going for sure and will be staying in a hotel though the house sounds great. Some other DTers will be with us but heck it will be one big party at the track and afterwards.

A full-blooded Irishman might fly in from Dublin for this one....

Been frequenting Saratoga since I was a kid. Virginia in winters. Saratoga for the summer. You might google motels in South Glens Falls. The Horse Shoe bar on Nelson Ave. is another great get-together place after the races. Good food, decent prices, great music, and a young crowd.

Default Fine Mexican Food with Extra Flair
Just a couple of minutes walk from the track is Leon's Mexican Restaurant owned by Jockey Filiberto Leon. Awesome Margaritas and great food.
Lots of Jocks frequent as well, Met a few last year as well as local legend "BOB M." ( Filiberto's father in law) whom I had great conversations with while enjoying a smoke and a drink out in front watching the fillies go by.
Enjoy, be there opening day with the FP Crew!!!
