so true. when i went yesterday i was the youngest guy there, and I'm 48. Saw Jim Hannon and got a "Settoncourse is right on course" from him. It's so wierd seeing the place sooo empty. Growing up it was always hopping, especially on the weekends. I went to the track every day. Now, i barely get there. I go as many days to Saratoga as I do to suffolk.
