I have been there. Beautiful. There is a huge amount of history up in Saratoga too. Saratoga is not only great racing, but the battle there was arguably the most important battle ever fought in the history of the country. I would argue Trenton was more important, but most feel Saratoga was the turning point of the war. George Washington was quite the gambler and loved horse racing too.
