You should go back for Xmas. Saratoga covered in snow is incredibly nice. Lots of great old style charm. I used to go ski in the area. A day and night around Saratoga is lots of fun around Xmas

I just hope Westernmassboob doesn't find out about this. How dare Check Mark and his family come to Saratoga and have a good time.

For a rookie you did great 👍. Maybe in 10 or 15 years you'll be able to handle the big time.
When you encounter situations like this DO NOT PANIC.
It's ok if you use props. This is a tape measure situation. Go past the KEEP OUT sign and just start measuring things.. Go Zen --be the roofer. Own it
It's a long way to the top of this game.

Great idea! They should allow people to ski on the racetrack and call it something like "Skiing at Saratoga" but not sure if that would wreck the track or not??

I was going to ask and see if they did booth tours to see John I in action so that is another thing to do next time around unless I send NYRA the Rachel A tape and see if I can get in then it would be me in there not him 
If I try hard enough who knows either analyst or some sort of job in the racing world that would be amazing!

We're all rookies until we spend a day with the King.
Also, CheckMark, I think Tom was referring to the water from the Big Red Spring.

I guess you'll just have to make a trip back there.

I have been trying to send my photo to Danny but his email keeps saying it is invalid for some reason.
If anyone sees Danny sometime soon can you ask him what his email is because I really wanted to send the photo to him and let him know that he made my trip very special with that photo
Thank you and if you do find it please pm me I appreciate it very much!

Read this thread a while back and never commented bc it was late at night and I was logged out.
Very cool trip man... I really had nothing to add bc I've only been to Saratoga for music concerts. Even better that you went with family.
The race call is awesome Made me laugh... def a fun to hear.
Also, solid photos!

Yes sir it was a very cool trip indeed! And yes the race call sounded decent but it was funnier at the end where I said "Holy sh*t she did it" as an added element
Also the photos I tried to get everything I saw so if I did miss something then next time I can try to get it
The next trip I have planned is to Las Vegas next year where my brother and I will be turning 21 so what better place (and age number) to go see than LV
Any suggestions on hotels and things to do etc(besides the sportsbook/racebook) I can take them starting now
