Throw a time out and I will try my best to be there. I can go early but I will have to leave and come back for the late pick 4. We dont even need to meet at the track, downtown is actually better for me.

Slot is absolutely right. This place isnt Fenway Park where people make a living selling seats. Hopefully it will never turn into that either.

We are lucky enough to have season tickets through work, but even being free I still dont use them, save for one or two days a year with my wife. I like to walk around and be where my friends are.

I think I'd actually prefer to be out in the picnic area at Saratoga on the average day, even tomorrow. Great ambiance, plus the world's supply of televisions to catch the racing action.

Is Albany the best airport to fly into to get there? I've never been to NY State at all and would love to go to Saratoga at some point.

Cajun-

Its pretty much your only choice unless you have your own plane. Its very convenient too. 30 miles from Saratoga race track, and you only have to take one road to get there, I-87. Get on I-87 at exit 4, head north, get off exit 14 and Saratoga race track is on your left about 1/2 mile once you get off the exit.

Cajun yes. Fly into Albany. Then either Gander or myself or a team effort will insure you get up to town from there and back down for flight. I'm going down to pick up a friend of lansdon's who is arriving at the airport today as a matter of fact.
If Tim and I were able to get Kev up here and back to the airport safe and sound, we can handle anything!!!

Thanks, Mike. I may try and head up there next month... perhaps the 9th and 10th. I'm looking into it.
