Saratoga ?'s

Just booked a couple of midweek nights at the Saratoga Inn, walking distance from the Barbecue if I am not mistaken, for $219 per night, through Expedia.

The Saratoga Inn website was getting over $325 for the same room.

Check Expedia and Hotel websites and see what you can do.

If you can't have fun in Saratoga during racing season then you can't have fun anywhere.

They can go help the wayward ducks from Congress Park, that should keep them happy on Tuesdays at least...

As someone from the area, I always thought that the most manageable weeks from a crowd perspective at the track were the first and last weeks; those traditionally have been mostly for "the locals," but there is still a lot going on downtown (after twilight racing cards on Friday), with the music festivals on and off Broadway each of those weekends. Labor Day weekend might be lighter than usual this year, with Labor Day falling as late as possible (September 7).

The second and third weekends will have a lot of people in town for the Whitney and the yearling sales, while there are usually big crowds for the Alabama and Travers weekends.

I also booked Inn at Saratoga for an off night.

Weekend nights look a lot tougher though. I am paying $201 (Sunday), but see it is $188 on hotels.com today for some days. Called them up directly and they were very accomodating.

Make sure you try Clancy's for a cocktail. That's where all the sophisticated people congregate late in the evening to hob nob.
