Finding the Pace Advanatage Crowd
Here's the Grounds of Saratoga. We have tables in the Festival tent. It is the larger tent directly behind the Clubhouse. Maybe PA can expand the Photo so it is easier to read. Thanks mike

Though it looks far away, it isn't bad, great place to spend the day.
Mike,
Any chance we can get a couple seats in the clubhouse or grandstand each day, or for some of the days, just for guys to share throughout the day? I'll foot the bill, just don't know if they are available.

Nice Circles Bill.
Do me a favor if you work on it again. Put circles around where I was standing, and where PA was standing , when I looked him dead in the eye and told him the Sox were rolling over his Yankees on the way to the World Series!

I meant to talk to you about this! Not bad? When you came two years ago, you came the last 4 days of the meet. You'll be there Travers Week this year. Different ball game.
I'll explain:
Saratoga seats 18,000. When you put 40,000 a weekday, and 50 & 70 thousand Travers weekend, people are in the trees! People sit in the walkway's on thier coolers.
We sit there, 30 yards from the Paddock, We have a litte buffet going, Beer and Soda on Ice, with fans on us, Laptop's everywhere. We're royalty. Travers weekend , the little plastic chain around the tent is like the GREAT WALL OF CHINA!
We take the Tent over. Ticket Girl? Yea ok, he's with me...thanks. You know what I mean? We turn the TV's our way, we move our table's together, we rig up the Power (exstention chords and what not). We invite pretty girls in. Oh yeah... We roll! We live like Red State Republicans for a week. We live good. Meanwhile the peasants drool at our comfort beyond the Plastic Chain!
Plus Craig! We're walking there..  . We're living right on top of it. We have a LAWN JOCKEY! on the front lawn of our crib! We're strolling down the street to "our tent"!
Great anchor spot to! We get around for sure. But when you have the steady spot...it's pure gold. People come by! A fair amount people come by that just read the board... You'd be surprised. I've probably met 6 or 10 people that never post. Even with the people you plan on meeting, some come 2 days, some 1, some 5. So your same spot makes it all work.
I'm thinking a couple of guys will come by specifically to see you? Your talent has won you a following. I'd be surprised if one or two of your guys did'nt just pop in to say hello. But also writers and other guys come by. Some of the Closer Look writers come by, Seth Morrow from Equidaily stops in, TLG is invited again this year, to stop by and play a couple of races with us. Steve who writes the DERBY TRAIL will be by and He has a concession there , and invited us over for lunch one day. Nice guy, Other people...all kinds.
Plus, the juice I bring to the extracircular activities at the track.
Yea, not bad.

I agree with Suff !! Its a great spot. Travers Day was hot , crowded , but we were Kings under the tent !!! Living in total comfort, and when the Thunder Storm erupted after the Travers we were in the best spot in the house, ERRRRRRRR, well at least most of us
