Thursday we had planned to return to Brewerton...and took just a little detour north into Saratoga Springs to visit the race track. The place was HUGE...and particularly crowded for a Thursday afternoon. There were actually three running venues...two turfs and one dirt track. We tried to see it all...restaurants, paddock, stables. Since it has been around since 1863, there is not anything about it that is bright, shiny new....lots of character...and fun races. I was impressed with how easy it was to see whatever was happening...no matter where the race, our seats had a great view. And we were in the cheap seats. Since all Floyd had to compare it to was the track at Eureka, he had lots to look at. We had a fun afternoon...and managed to not lose any money!!!!
