Saratoga Ruined !!!

One thing I was trying to say is that Saratoga has always stayed Saratoga. Nothing ever ruined it. You still have the track and the horses.

I think this is one of the greatest lines I have ever read here. Maybe nyra could use it for a new catchphrase.

Oh Cardus... why have you abandoned us when we so desperately need you?

I've stayed at the Adirondack quite a few years on and off and always enjoyed it. They are very nice.

I got married at Saratoga 15 years ago. My wife has never gone back, so I haven't been home for a wedding anniversary ever. It's always Whitney weekend. Never been an issue. I go to Saratoga, that's what I do. If I didn't, I'm dead and gone.

HHH. Good point. There is a lot of concern about liabilities in our Mid-Atlantic are and that was a big reason DEL and PARX started restricting what people could bring. From what I was told there were some lawsuits about people who brought their own alcohol to the track and then had terrible outcomes.

It's a weird world. If I was to go to Saratoga and get all hammered and drive and kill somebody, that's a bad thing. It would be my fault. However, now they sue the track when they had nothing to do with it.

It may happen. However I think it may be more a question of liability rather than just trying to increase sales.

One thing I've always loved about the Adirondack is the pool. Nothing like a dip after a day at the track.

I always stay there. Love the place and the owners. They also shuttle you to the track and pick you up afterwards.
