i think you're using the word arrogant to define the wrong person. it's not the guards problem, other fans problems, or anyone elses problem except baffert that he had three horses in the race. he has assistants to handle credentials. i mean, does anyone really think ol bob handles that type of stuff himself?? oh yeah...sure. i bet he's completely hands on. doesn't delegate any of the dirty work to others...

and i read the entire thread after my initial post.

Pgardn and Danzig,
I'm letting this go. No need for me to put any more gasoline on the fire.
It's taken a whole lot of pages, some insightful, some not views.
To each his own. No need to beat a dead horse. Believe whatever you want.

I have been to Saratoga and failed to bring a jacket. They have them there for loan. I was there as a guest of a well known trainer. They did not give me any trouble. they just said wear this jacket to your seat and then feel free to leave it on your chair. Might not be the same reception everyone gets, but as soon as they knew who I was with they handled it witht he best customer service ever. The trainer wasn't even there. Just by name they knew how to handle it.

Also, fun story first time I ever had brunch on the porch at Saratoga we had to pay off the maitre'd. Even though we were with a name trainer. We were like what the heck? And so we watched, he would say there was no seats until someone discreetly slip him some cash. We watched his pocket bulge. Fun enough, if you were too open about it he would refuse it like you offered him crack. He got busted last summer or the summer before. I bet he was pulling 5k per day on the porch.

The way Bodi Miller skied in the olympics I wouldn't let him in even if he had a pass. Baffert knew he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell in the race and was just playing the roll. The guard should of pulled that white haired bitch to the ground and put a Rodney King whoppin on he butt. JUST KIDDING.
