Saratoga, 30 days away.
July 11th, Time goes fast huh?
I'm flying solo from Florida, Wed, 10th, staying through Monday 15th, Embassy Suites downtown.
Opening Day, I have a table in the Four Star Dave, 4 seats.
Friday & Saturday I have a table in the miller light picnic zone. My table is right on the paddock fence, and right behind where TLG does his show. Killer Spot.
These tables have 6 ticketed seats.
If you're there, ping me, come by and Handicap a race, have a lunch, rest your feet, whatever. I don't sit much at the track, but when I do, I like these spots so I treated myself.
I also have an extra reservation if anyone needs it. Its at Top of The Hill Motel, near the track. The 11th to the 15th. I made two reservations depending on my cash situation. Cash is good so I'm treating myself to Embassy Suites.

Time does fly! Hopefully less rain for the Saratoga meet. Anyway Suff my GF and I stayed 1 night last year at Embassy. It was decent clean and great location to walk downtown for the restaurant and shops. I was hoping it had a hot tub but only an indoor pool. We also had seats inside four star Dave and liked that location as well. We plan on staying the first opening weekend so maybe we will bump into you. I like to do the trotters at night .

This means War!
This was the day I led a Yankees Suck chant at Saratoga while wearing my Ted Williams throwback jersey.

New Calendar this year so heads up. The inaugural Rick Violette on the 17th would be a nice one to be there for.
Good file.

Minor Announcement: Attn: Day/Weekend Trippers. What used to be 48 hour parking is now 3 hours. Heads up if you stay at downtown hotels and previously took advantage of the 48 hour Garages.
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT. My Saratoga Hat Lineup has a late scratch. Due to Big Papi shooting and the Stanley Cup results, I had to cut my Bruins hat from the line up. The 1st AE, my 2013 World Series is In!. It's a seasoned utility player having filled in as a pillow or napkin numerous times.
Back row L to R.
1. The 2018 Saratoga Giveaway hat.
2. A Gulfsteam Cuban Fidora.
3. My Patriots Loud & Proud hat. w/TOBA pin as an accessory.
4. My In-game 2018 world series hat bought at Fenway.
5. My Boston Strong Hat.
6. 2013 World Series Championship hat. Dave Ortiz WS MVP.

Good site for the Saratoga Special, free daily.
Lots of interesting stuff inside. Archives from past years still available.

That is the entire reason I started posting again last year this time. I came to paceadvantage.com infrequently and what I saw in July of 2018 really scared me.
At first I thought maybe you had taken ill, or a maybe a brick fell off the roof and hit you in the head?
I saw that a guy from California was running an "official" Saratoga thread on paceadvantage.com
That cannot happen. Not while I'm alive.

I'm canceling this Reservation next week. Last Call if anyone wants it.
Its 4 nights @ $287 + tax, but maybe it can be modified back a day or 2. I think for weekends like these the hotels have 2 or 3 night minimum.
Everything is sold out.

I laugh, or sometimes I just say, definitely! The only reason that I wear the Loud & Proud is to draw these clowns out.

If these individuals,however,are wearing New York GIANTS gear then you have to stand there and take it.
The spirit of David Tyree demands it.

That's past shelf life. Giants fans are cloning into Mets Fans. Beating any team from Boston is their war cry. Even if it was 25 years ago.
Big A Stabile has told 65 Met's Stories on Talking Horses. That is 64 to many because they're all the same.
