I think you can and don’t want to for political reasons, but whatever. You’ve never been much of a thinker.

I’ve got a 5 year old with a congenital heart defect who would be at risk of severe illness if she were to get COVID but she obviously can’t get the vaccine. She’s been hospitalized for 7-10 days before for less serious colds. It astounds me that there are people out there so selfish that they can’t take measures to help protect the vulnerable, for no good reason. I get that other people don’t have to care...but it still seems crazy to me.

I don’t know Hickory Hill Hoff at all so I’m not commenting on his situation. But we know there are plenty of people out there like that.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Yeah it’s basic common decency. Not sure how it became political, but it is.

I had Covid and while I was lucky enough to not have any serious symptoms I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Others haven’t been so lucky.

Thanks. She's actually doing really well and she's proven time and time again that she's way tougher than her dad. But as a parent, it's just another thing to worry about.

I think the last year and a half have shown some people's true colors, some for the better but many for the worse.

Let me get this straight...Cuomo is trumpeting free admission with his Excelsior pass on opening day. Yet, this same Cuomo deemed free admission to NYRA tracks “unconstitutional” because they deprived the state of tax revenue, when NYRA granted free admission to NYRA betting account holders who had a balance of $1,000 or more? I’m not making a political statement, I would just like to see that NYRA perk restored.

Has anyone else been able to get weekly tickets? I’ve been trying since yesterday (at one point it said there was 2,600 people in line in front of me) and it appears the weekly tickets are sold out?

No "additional chairs?"

Saratoga Track Policies

Seating is limited to picnic tables. Additional chairs are not permitted.

Their plan all along was no chairs, but of course didn’t have the nuts to say it. They are doing all they can to ruin Saratoga. Lying guy in charge .

Maybe that your boss lied about chairs being allowed like they always were. Didn’t you tell him what a big mistake this is ?

Nothing warms my heart more than the thought of Dan the big vagina crying as he’s posting about how he can’t bring in his filthy chair to the track.

Good move by NYRA if it makes him mad. Maybe they’ve read all of his stupidity about NYRA over the years and figured this would be sweet revenge.

A new option this year is 16 lucky people will get to pay a minimum of $150 to drive their car with 5 friends up to the clubhouse turn and watch the races from there. The new ways they come up with to squeeze every penny possible out of the place is amazing.

You really think that folding chairs won't be allowed in the yard? You can't be this obtuse.. Of course people can bring their chairs..

No additional chairs….. what does that mean ? What kind of inane drone words things like this ? No running in the facility…., another genius line. The prices are so high they don’t dare publish half of them, but will contact you if you’re interested.
