Who will be at Saratoga tomorrow?

I am coming up tomorrow to watch these two races. Only for the day though and will be back for a few days next weekend to catch some am workouts and the sales because unfortunately I am not going to Arlington to see Showing Up.

I would be interested to meet some of you, but I doubt I will be able to sit around and chat because my girlfriend is coming.

Let me know where people are so I can come and atleast say hello.

I will be there but not able to stay the entire card. Probably the best place to meet is Steve's BBQ stand. Do you know where that is?

I will be there!

I think I know where it is. I am taking Amtrak up and my girlfriend is going up just to see her sister so I don't know when I am going to head over to the track. I might go over around noon to scalp some seats and then come back later for the big races, but I am sure I can get lost for 30-40 minutes when getting seats and say hello to some people.

I should be around in the mornings though all next weekend and monday.

You don't have to scalp. They have plenty of security guards and undercover guys watching the bartering over by the place where most of it goes on. YOu have to be insane to try and sell a seat over there for more than face value. You will end up paying face value.

Toga - like Belmont - is so friendly to the average joe that just wants to go and see some good racing without paying an arm and a leg for seats. Even on a decent stakes weekend like this weekend, I'd suggest just paying admission, then stake out a good spot on the stretch rail to see the races. No need to pay out the wazoo for seats.

Throw a time out and I will try my best to be there. I can go early but I will have to leave and come back for the late pick 4. We dont even need to meet at the track, downtown is actually better for me.

Slot is absolutely right. This place isnt Fenway Park where people make a living selling seats. Hopefully it will never turn into that either.

We are lucky enough to have season tickets through work, but even being free I still dont use them, save for one or two days a year with my wife. I like to walk around and be where my friends are.

I always get great seats if I just walk in. For years I waited on the line early in the morning for the seats they made available, then somebody told me just go scalp them. You only pay a little more. It isn't like a Yankee or Mets game. Whitney and Travers day are usually tough to get but there is always somebody selling. My girlfriend will only come over if she has a seat and she only likes the big races. Personally I would just sit and watch them on tv, I could care less about being there but if I am heading up on the train I am going to see some live racing. Saratoga for me is all about the mornings though, I actually can't stand the crowds during the racing day.
