Saratoga Just Around ther Corner

[OTM Al]

Not only does Saratoga mean great racing in a classic venue, but more importantly it means the annual PA Saratoga get together, which for me is always the best part of the meet.

I have reserved tables for us again this year. This year's dates will be Aug 13th through 21st. Because we didn't have too many people early in the week last year, I cut back to one table for 13th-15th. But don't let that stop you from coming that weekend if it is your only chance. Have the same number of tables 18th-21st as before and Ted Craven's group will be in again this year as well. Brilliant me forgot to coordinate with Ted this year, but we'll still likely be close enough together to mix as in past years. Friday the 19th seems to have become the night to go over to Saratoga harness as well, so come one come all and see what washed up rocker we'll see there this year.....

What's missing from the above is Wednesday the 17th. Unfortunately someone beat me to the punch and reserved the whole Festival Tent that day, but never fear. As a replacement, we have been offered 2 tables over at the Big Red Spring (drink it at your own risk...) for that day. I do know we are close to some SAMs over there, but I don't know about the power situation. I will scout it out when I get up there in July and post then along with my running commentary on the season up north.

So make your vacation plans now and get ready for another year of fun and good friends.

[cj's dad]

I'll be up Thursday the 18th through Saturday the 21st, flying home the 22nd.

Staying at the Island View w/ Joe Prunes and lady friend. Do not know at this point if cj and/or Justin are attending.

For those of you who don't know of the Island View motel, it is 30 minutes from Saratoga-easy drive and several nice restaurants on the way back after the races. The Waterhouse Bar and Grill is several hundred yards up the road from the island View and is a good relaxing spot to partake of a few chilled ones.

[Charli125]

I'm going to attempt it this year and I'll confirm once I know for sure. Looking forward to hanging out in a bit more relaxed atmosphere than the NHC Al!

Going to try and bring the wife up for the 19th-20th. Will this place pass muster with her?

[offtrack]

I plan to sleep under the tables overnight this year to save a few bucks. I'm sure that will impress Mrs JustRalph a great deal.

[Ted Craven]

The Sartin gang has 3 tables on Friday and Saturday, and 2 on Sunday. Group Sales says we're all together. We'll have electrical stuff and hopefully a wifi hotspot. Happy to pool the tables - just need a few dollars per, to cover costs.

Can't wait!

It's relaxed except when the heavens open up, or when Zaf and Bubbles start shouting at the TV set :)

Ted

[GatetoWire]

Al: count me in. I am planning on being there from Friday the 19th thru Sunday the 21st.
I may try to squeeze in Thurs the 18th if I can swing it.

Hopefully you and I will do better at the windows than we did on JCGC Day at Belmont!!

Looking forward to it

Mike

[Shelby]

We'd love to peek in on ya'll!! How much notice do I need to give?

[Dave Schwartz]

Beth and I might just be able to make that. Can't commit yet but it could happen.

Dave

[Zaf]

Ha ! :lol: Looking forward to seeing all you guys again this year :ThmbUp:

[jeebus1083]

I'm 6 miles to the track from my apartment. I'll try and visit the tent this summer.

[fiveouttasix]

I'm 25 minutes away (my parents house) very close to the Waterhouse Rest.
I will definitely be there.

[pktruckdriver]

I do not want to scare any one off, but I am still living here in Saratoga thru the winter and will be able to enjoy Saratoga this year without any interference, like work...lol.

Right now we are still covered in winter snow, but finally it is melting with a week of temp's in the 50's and a sunny St. Patrick's Day, life is great

Patrick

[cj's dad]

We'd love to peek in on ya'll!! How much notice do I need to give?

Notice- there is no notice- just show up and give OTMAl a few $$$ and all is well !!

[Dave Schwartz]

It's official - Beth is looking for hotels and airfares! We'll be there.


Dave

[JustRalph]

[joeprunes]

I just called the island view motel to make my reservations and there isnt many rooms left so if anyone is going to this area better call now. Nice area on a lake 12 minutes to lake george and 20 minutea to the track. Its clean and reasonable. Been going there for almost 50 yrs never had a problem. Its your call, Cj`s dad (dennis)your dates are wrong thursday is the 18th and sat, is the 20th, If anyone needs the number of the motel let me know.....joeprunes

[Dave Schwartz]

Joe & CJ D,

I rented a 2-br there for 10 days. (I've got a regular room for the 2 before that.)

Looking forward to seeing all you guys.

Hey Dave. Glad you will be coming and look forward to meeting you! Given some of your recent posts, I'd love to hear some more of your stories about Vegas.

[Dave Schwartz]

And I love telling them, Al.

We'll have a barbecue (you can be in charge of bringing the lobster) and tell stories until the wee hours of the zzzzzzzzzz. Sorry, nodded off.


Dave

[Bubbles]

Chances are I'll be there for at least a few days, as per the usual. Should be a great time, as always!

[Dave Schwartz]

Hey, Dad - do you know if we can get cell phone service from this place?

Also, do you know who else is going to stay at the Island Motel?

Dave

[cj's dad]

Cell phone service is nearly non-existent. About 10 minutes away you can start to get it. So far, the folks staying there are myself and maybe my youngest son Justin, Just Ralph and wife, Joe Prunes and ladyfriend, and beyond that I am not sure.

Hey, Dad - do you know if we can get cell phone service from this place?

Dave

[Dave Schwartz]

Thanks, Dad.

That means we'll have to download data in town on the way to the track or at the track.


Dave

[cj's dad]

At the track works !! This has not been a problem before.I will say that if you need a hard copy of anything, bring your own printer. Last year I relied on Andicap and his size .5 font reduced me ongoing migraine headaches not to mention the loss of vision in my good eye for several weeks thereafter.

[Dave Schwartz]

I'll come with a Sprint hotspot but will still need a signal.

Is there free WiFi at the track?

[JustRalph]

I'll come with a Sprint hotspot but will still need a signal.

Is there free WiFi at the track?

My sprint 3G hotspot worked fine all around the track. There are wifi nets at the track and they work a little, until the gates open. Then they are dead

Not hardly !! BTW - are you attending ??

[Storm Cadet]

Not hardly !! BTW - are you attending ??

Probably heading up there in July for a weekend...after that it's up in the air because of summer basketball workouts with team. 10 new players coming in so lots of work to do in July and August.

I just bought shares in 4 -2 yo colts that might make it to race at SAR in Aug so if they go so do I!

[offtrack]

I just signed a contract for the season, a place on White Street.

Every year the digs are a little closer to the grounds. Fortunately.

Also sent for the discount season's pass.

All before Belmont opens- ha!

[Buddha]

I expect to make it up this year, just not sure of the dates yet...Too bad we aren't getting a house again, that was always fun :)

[John]

I am planing on being there sometime that week. I don't know about Charlie, it all depends on how he is feeling.I will have to wait and see.

[cj's dad]

Seriously hope you guys make it, Both of you add much to the mix.

[OTM Al]

Seriously hope you guys make it, Both of you add much to the mix.

Second that.

[joeprunes]

Me,john and charlie from day one be great if charlie could make it...

[Mr Saratoga]

To say the least, I'm not very active on PA, but I grew up not far from Saratoga. I have friends, and relatives in the area who for some reason still welcome me. I know a few of the posters here, and am looking forward to meeting others. I go for the entire meet (lucky me), and will mark the PA dates on my calendar.

[Dave Schwartz]

Who else is staying at the Island Motel?

CJ-D, you're staying there, right?

[joeprunes]

Well me(joeprunes) and girlfriend, cj`s dad and brother justin, just ralph and wife ,cj dont know yet and maybe john and charlie. Noone else that I know of so far.

[thespaah]

It's official - Beth is looking for hotels and airfares! We'll be there.

Davewhere is it? I can give you a good idea about cell service.
FYI, Between Saratoga and Lake George, cell service is pretty limited to near major highways.

[offtrack]

To shop for a rental in Saratoga I used http://www.racingcityrealty.com .

I was able to negotiate on price, and had multiple selections for location.

FWIW

[Dave Schwartz]

thespaah,

I am reasonably certain we'll not have cell phone service. Will be pleasantly surprised if we do.

I'll pick up data on the way into town in the morning or the way out of town at night.

Not really concerned.

I had great 3g service all over Saratoga and most importantly in the tent. Was able to use my Ipad via the wifi hotspot on my phone, just fine. 3g isn't blazing, but it works pretty well even for the internet

[joeprunes]

I`ve been going up there for 40 yrs and (when cells came out) never had cell sevice at island view untill last year I was shocked, At the track no problem and out side my hotel in the town of hadley 5-8 minutes away I got service.

[cj's dad]

Who else is staying at the Island Motel?

CJ-D, you're staying there, right?

Yes, 18-20, out the 21st. My youngest son Justin is a late scratch.

I have a 2 BR room if anyone is having difficulty with finding lodging.

Note - females receive preferred booking.

Note 2 - I snore.

Probably a hole in Verizon's coverage

Think of it more as Saratoga is an island of coverage in a sea of nothing. We used to stay near Corinth. Late at night some messages would come through on the blackberry, but for the most part you couldn't get a signal until you were within about a mile or two of town. In town and at the race course there is no problem at all. Every year more towers get put up, so you never know if it will be better this year outside of town, but can't count on it.

It's the Island View Motel- 20-25 minutes from the track on 9N- google islandviewmotel.com

How bout a Cottage here for a few weeks...right down the street, not sure about me staying there yet, because I do have a great place now in Saratoga, see picture's on my blog, as I just never left since coming up last year, the place is that nice here, winter was a bit tough, but it is upstate NY

Unfortunately I can only make 1 day this year, Monday August 1st. I still plan on hitting the daily double really heavy.....Hatties Fried Chicken Sandwich and wash it down with Saranac Lake Pomegranite Wheat Beer....just might have to hit a "late double" also haha rbj

[jefftune]

I haven't been to PJ's in a few years. Bringing my teenage son along this year - he's a rib fan so we are definitely going to hit PJ's.

[andicap]

Its kind of funny. For the years we lived in England I always made it to Saratoga but this year it's looking only 50-50 and it would only for a couple of days probably during the first weekend when PA attendance is pretty scarce. Just too many family complications this year.

[andicap]

And I love telling them, Al.

We'll have a barbecue (you can be in charge of bringing the lobster) and tell stories until the wee hours of the zzzzzzzzzz. Sorry, nodded off.


Dave

Dave, if you'll be there on the weekend of Aug. 13-14, I might try a little harder to get up there.

[Dave Schwartz]

I am there from Aug 11-23.

Staying at the Island View Motel in Lake Luzerne.

We have one extra bed for Aug. 14-23. Cost is reasonable.

BTW, is there a cost we need to pay for the PA tent admission or will we just pay that every day?

I have bought the tables which were $24 each, so $5 per person per day has been the regular price I've asked. No need to pay early, when you get there is fine each day or as many days as you want up front.

Count us in - there are two of us.


Dave

[Rutgers]

I am there from Aug 11-23.



If you (or anyone else) are going to be in the Saratoga area on Friday August 12th you may want to consider going to the Horse Racing Hall of Fame induction.

It’s held at the Fasig-Tipton sales pavilion which is about a couple of blocks from the track (and they are very short blocks). It’s free and you don’t need tickets, just walk up. I would get there early though if you want a seat as it can get pretty crowded and it’s first come first serve.

[offtrack]

Here's the NYRA Saratoga Race Course information page, for anyone needing information:



http://nyra.com/images/Saratoga_Brochure11.pdf

[Dave Schwartz]

Rutgers,

Thanks for the tip.

A trip to Saratoga demands a trip to the museum itself. It is a great place to buy a gift for your favorite horse racing person - which at my house, would be me!

Last time I was there with Beth I came away with a couple of must-haves, including a signed Barbaro picture. (No, not signed by the horse.) I later gave the picture to a valued friend as a birthday present. Hmm... might look for a replacement.


Dave

[offtrack]

When attending the meet at Saratoga I always enjoy a long sit on a bench in front of the Racing Office, near the Jockey's Room entrance.

Lots of racing personalities, press people stopping in for credentials, and assorted hangers-on to watch.
Quite the mix fashions too.

Sometimes a nice conversation starts up with folks connected to the business.

Yep. Have had the occasion to bump into people in the business around that location.
I prefer not hang around there too long as it gets real busy with pedestrian traffic.

Hey Tom,

Isn't the photo from the year you guys spent the Spa week at Lake George ?

[Dave Schwartz]

Jim Parker and I will be there from 12th-23rd, staying at the Island View (Lake Luzerne) with the CJs and others.

From the 14th-23rd we have a 2-br with a bed for rent.

Those days are $132 per night (including the $10 increase for the 3rd person). If anyone wants to spend a whole week with us, we'll call it $45 per night or $315 for the week.

The daily rate to sublet that extra bed will be $12 higher = $57.

If you're going to stay with us on Friday, you need to stay Saturday as well.

Non-smokers and non-snorers only. We will have a rental car and can provide a ride to and from the track (assuming you are willing to travel when we do).

Email or call me if interested.


Regards,
Dave Schwartz

I wonder if Al still has his photo in his phone? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

PA had to take it down, here on the board.

Dave, your guy, he's just plain unfortunate. On the other hand, "Nutter" had style and a gold chain.

No thank you emanating from me.:lol:

I don't have it on my phone (I just checked) but think it may be on my laptop. Regardless it remains burned into my brain. And I still crack up every time I think of it too. The hair was just incredible. You could see through it on top, and I was a huge fan of the shirt with the sleeves ripped off and the threads still dangling. The nutters were not properly captured in the picture, but maybe that's a good thing.

Okay, I have to ask... "Nutters?"

Does that mean what it sounds like it means?


BTW, the DMR guy hangs in the hallway outside my office. One of the many treasures my bride found for me at a garage sale. I think she paid $0.50 (and worth every penny).

Those shorts guys wore in the 80's that went maybe to mid thigh.
Think basketball and tennis length...

That is an affirmative.

Ya know, I ALMOST had that image out of my head after last year. Now I'm otherwise corrupted and I think I'm retroactively going blind. Thanks guys! :faint:

[cj's dad]

You all are right- it was "nutters". I think this guy is a board member.

What a life !!

[cj's dad]

I should have written, "his hair, his wifebeater tshirt and . . . his nutters.

Say it ain't so:

Center City Philly

I think Mayor Nutter realizes the city needs to make sure Center City doesn't turn into NE Philly,

Sad to say, the Rookies boys will be blowing through the previous weekend, as all of our usual haunts were booked up back at the beginning of the year. But, we'll warm the place up for y'all. ;)

Can't wait...:ThmbUp:

With a room at Top Hill, you can sit by the Motel Pool,
listening to the "PJ's DJ" blast Great,sometimes obscure
late 50'-early 60's tunes from 5-9PM after the races.


Hope to catch you there week of 8/15.

Last time I ate at PJ's though I enjoyed the meal.....
