I left today mid-card, it was so crazy today. I love seeing the interest and attendance this year, which is by FAR the highest I've seen im my 25 years attending Saratoga, but today was tough.

The handle figures are through the roof. They did almost $40,000,000 this weekend!!

Saw the meteor showers were at their peak tonight, walked outside and saw plenty of stars. Figured I had brought a cigar up to smoke at Saratoga but wound up in the festival tent with a bunch of PaceAdvantage dudes (it was fun guys, sorry we left so abruptly) so never got to smoke it and what better than to smoke it and see the meteor shower. I quickly realized that in a city while sitting under a streetlight I was about as likely to see a shooting star as I've been to cash a ticket since opening day. Then the clouds rolled in and I quickly realized the only way I'd see a meteor is if it hit my house.

Final tally:

1 giant @$$ cigar
3 gin and tonics
1 random dude named Dave that told my neighbors "he was gaseous and needed to use their bathroom" (and they let him)
9 incoming flights from the eastern seaboard to the Albany Airport
1 helicopter that was either searching for Gaseous Dave or flying Joey in to Albany Med after an eventful night with the Captain
1 bare knuckle kick boxing match between a 7 year old and a 13 year old egged on by their Moms (same house as gaseuous Dave, shocker)
1 random dog on my lap (trying to escape the fumes from Gaseous Dave no doubt)
Countless sore spots on my body from the giveaway chair today at Saratoga
0 shooting stars (unless you count Gaseous Dave)

Does it have to be a dress? They won't give me one if I'm just in a halter top and capris?

Seriously though, if all you have to do is be a girl, I'll ship some of the BBQT flock to load up. I want one too.

I'm not sure if they will hand them out to guys too...but I wouldn't worry, you'll look stunning in a halter top and capris...heck you might even get a piece of pie too!
