Title: Saratoga
Post by: Fairmount1 on January 14, 2022, 05:37:30 PM
Saratoga, 2022.

Whitney Weekend.  (Assuming it is the 6th)
Labor Day Weekend.  

I\'ll be there.  Plane tickets are purchased.  I\'ll be in the backyard with Uncle Bill and his bandmates and it will be a successful 2022 no matter what else happens as long as that happens.  I might have to sleep on the streets of Saratoga each night but I\'ll be there.

Once upon a time I loved Travers Day but the year it was so crowded there was barely room for one folding chair was the year I didn\'t enjoy it anymore.  So Whitney and Closing weekend it is.  

Hope to see everyone I\'ve come to know in that direction on one of those two weekends.  Plan ahead.

Be sure to bring a battery-operated space heater.  That last week can get a little chilly.

Those cooler temps my one Labor Day weekend up there made me reflect about summer\'s ending, that the Saratoga meet was over oh so fast, and made me question if I\'ll be lucky enough to make it back again next year, whether sleeping on the streets or not :).

Plan on spending a good amount of weekends in the region. Plan on being trackside for those events... BUT

I would schedule another Uber Driver LOL
And no Albany Hilton or any hotel that blacks out Racing.
