it's not like they print money. they have to take the dates, equipment (starting gates, etc.), and people away from belmont.

whatever they make in saratoga diluting that meet with the extra dates they don't make in elmont.

i love the short meets. less time i have to read the inane saratoga vs. del mar comparisons.

Take an extra 2 weeks - head over to the harness track and realize you are King. Place a $50 w bet and you will feel like you control the world as you have now made a 30-1 ML horse the 1/5 fav....

Remember the days of Jimmy Allen, JP Morel, Harold Parker...ah those where the hay days of Saratoga Harness...

My first winning bet $2wps on Crestwood Copper paid something like $45..I thought I hit life's jackpot....
