I am glad NYRA did look at weather or not to run the race on dirt or turf with the rain, but am very glad they kept it on turf in the end. Once deemed okay on the turf.

How disappointing I would have been if it was not a dominating turf day =)

Vic I have friends who still go to Saratoga and Belmont. Some sit in the boxes, some are fans who get a spot wherever they can. They all still love the track. They especially love Saratoga. Prices of concessions? Try going to a basketball game. My grandson goes to games at his alma mater. After paying thousands extra for the privilege of a good seat, he then pays thousands more for the seats themselves. Then $5-$8 for a soda, peanuts etc. And this is in the Southwest. NY has always been known for higher priced food, nothing new.

Vic,

Yes I thought that comment by the guy was a cheap shot. As for D.Wayne, give him a pat on the back next time you pass by. I won a handy little sum on both his winners. My buddies just got back from The Spa, maybe you remember me as the one with the broken ankle who didn't get to go? Well I won, they didn't, a little payback.

How did Sabini take an unfair shot at NYRA? $10.25 for hot dog, small fries and a small soda. Does that sound like NYRA has been taking care of their fans? NYRA has done nothing for the everyday fan. It has been an exclusive "Boys Club" for the past 50 years. New blood and new ideas will hopefully bring new fans. The only thing NYRA has done to put the sport in the limelight was get a federal indictment. There is life outside the press box. Hang out on the second floor grandstand at Aqueduct to find the real fans and bettors, that is, if the grandstand was still open there.
