Default Short Meets

There is also a beauty to having shorter meets that are top class like Saratoga or Keeneland. They become even more attractive because they tend to be short in comparison to other tracks and the competition day in and day out is top tier.

The days from when Saratoga end to when it starts again sometimes seems like an enternity but that is part of what makes it special along with the quality of horses, trainers and jockeys and the beauty of the track and surrounding area.

that is another good point... a lot of ppl say a longer meet can only hurt the prestige of it

Saratoga will be opening a highrollers room this season for people with a mythical bankroll only. You cannot make any real bets in this room
