The Official Saratoga 2018 Thread. Opening Day Friday July 20th





I'm not the one to build this thread but if we're gonna have a Del Mar thread we should have a Saratoga thread. Hope someone fills it up who has a more informed opinion about Saratoga than I do.

Per me D G Donk was the true Trainer champ at Saratoga for 2017 pound for pound or $ for $ per return on investment!!!

http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/s...light=Saratoga

I’m not sure that he can repeat last years returns but if he can at least get half of that this year I would be greatful!!!

I will be keeping a sharp eye on his barn for the entire Saratoga season!!!

I will also be looking at his crop of Maidens on the Turf!!!

Hope they have their own timer and not bring the one up from Belmont.

I'm going to Saratoga for the first time on closing day. Will be coming down from a hotel in Vermont.

General Parking: Free!
Free every day, the general parking lots are located off Union Ave. Expect a long walk to the track and difficulty finding spots on popular race days.

What do they consider a long walk?

About the same distance as your hotel in Vermont is.

I figured this was a good place to put NYRA's daily track trends link. I had no idea they had this on their website until earlier, but what a fantastic and helpful resource and timesaver. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea.


https://www.nyra.com/saratoga/racing/track-trends


That link will take you to how the track played each day last season. The recently concluded Belmont meet link is on the page as well.

Last year, about two weeks ahead of the meet, I read that the materials mix of Saratoga's main dirt track surface had been changed. (More clay had been added.)

Q. Does anyone know if the materials mix for the Saratoga main dirt track surface has been changed again this year? (Or is the materials mix the same as last year?)
