One thing that leaves an impression about Saratoga are some of the women around that paddock area. (10s) As for a day at the track I'd prefer Woodbine and to buy a seat at the tables. It's a good comfortable way to spend a day in the racing atmosphere, you have your own monitor in air conditioned comfort especially if you like to handicap in-between races. I don't know that I'll be back to Saratoga unless I get into owning horses someday. The quality of the racing is great of course and the historical significance of the track is something that I can appreciate but to roll in for a day trip and grab a program, no.
