Why take a chance, reserve one as you can do now, plus they are in a better area by the paddock.

You will have no problem getting a picnic table on Thursday. No need to reserve one.

I agree. Why risk it, just reserve it? Obviously he is older and surely moving slower, why have to worry or rush?

Thomas-
I am proud of you for taking him there. I learned to like him (a lot) through his posts. Must be a helluva guy! All the best and good luck!

Remind him that he totally kicked ass last year when he switched to playing doubles and pick 3's. His heater was EPIC!

You just had a feeling he would go on a bat last Saratoga. It was awesome. My dad cashed the last bet he made at Saratoga. Here's hoping he does too.

Hope you both rock the windows on Thursday. I still remember my last Spa Day with my late Mom. It was a long time ago. She bet Fourstardave as a 2yo that day, because my brother is named Dave. It's wonderful that you and he can share Saratoga.
