Biggestal, I think they are planning on 45K according to the article. So, stay skinny. It might be tight.

Reading the story & the rundown that was on Paulick's site this morning I thought it was kind of ironic that while Saratoga is cutting down trees Keeneland is planting some in the Paddock.

Fingal, there are more trees in the first 10 yards of any Saratoga gate than there are in--total--around Keeneland's paddock and racing areas. When I had a home in Lexington, I went to the races every day, every meet, and to simulcast, often, on other days.
Keeneland began cutting down trees years ago. And I'm noting, BIG trees of great age which change the landscape tremendously. Two that I recall, in particular. One was a beautiful Magnolia, another, between the clubhouse and the grandstand had a circular bench surrounding it. Compared to just a short time ago, Keeneland looks as though it's been neutered. .... Never a good thing to cut down trees.
