Train Station in Saratoga

It's also not a flat walk.

So, alternatives? Have a cab pick you up and take you to the track. Or, depending on when you are arriving, etc., let me know, and if I am available, I'll give you a ride.

Good luck.

I'm coming in at 11:15 on Saturday the 28th- I'll send out my plea; if anyone is available to take me to the track, I'd be grateful.

Worst case scenario, I'll take a cab or walk it (I'm debating whether to try rollerblading the 8 miles to my riding lesson this weekend, rather than going via bus/subway, so I don't mind a hike). Thanks, everyone! I'll see you all at the track on Saturday!!!

You're a brave woman, the only place I ever rollerbladed was along the Charles River bike path while in college in Boston. I need nice flat surfaces

Same goes for Sunday if you need a drop off from the track to the train, just let me know.

I'm hopeful I'll be able to sneak out to Belmont myself on Suburban day- I have an engagement party to help set up and attend (so flattered to be a bridesmaid; so chagrined that it means I have to do stuff), but I'm going to try to do my share early and then go see the Suburban and make it back in time for the party at 8... sssshhhh....

You're a better friend than I, I dislike weddings so much I'd sneak out of the whole thing. I hope your dress is pretty at least!

Well, the bride booked the wedding at... a horse farm! So the scenery will be nice, anyway. In fact, I'm tempted to go down early so I can take a riding lesson there before the ceremony!
