Any day that I could escape to the track BY MYSELF!(hopefully this Saturday will be one of those days.)

Whitney day at the Spa. Lots of people but its not too crowded, great racing. And a day & night in Saratoga cannot be beat.

I've never been to the Derby or Oaks... but while Preakness and Travers are nice.. the crowds are just a little to much to really enjoy. That and I'm always stuck behind a nasty hot Carolina BBQ stand.

Belmont Stakes is always a great time... the place is so big even when its slammed its still not too bad (just leaving the damn place sucks)

When I eventually make it to the Spa, I'm sure it will be on my all-time favorite list. I can't wait.........
