So sad, in addition to all the horses that were killed at Charles Town.

I hope Kent D.'s neck heals well, and Javier Castellano should not feel bad about what happened. He ran the most breathtaking race in history (The Travers)and helped to continue the legacy of a great racehorse Afleet Alex with Afleet Express winning the Travers. I am so proud of Javier Castellano, and hopes he reads this! You and Afleet Express are forever a team. You helped Afleet Express across the finish line and alot of children with cancer cheered for Afleet Alex's son! Thank you Javier.

I feel badly for the horses that died but we all know as fans, such is horseracing and to take away from these horses the wind in their nostrils would be worse. Thank you Saratoga for a great racing season, it was great to see the Saratoga Express leave with an "Afleet" exit.

One day I hope to make it to Saratoga. To this longtime, diehard horseracing fan, this place seems magical, no matter what happens.

Vic,

Although there was no muffaletta this year the meatball sub from Brindisi's is a hit as well as the garlic lemon chicken hoagie from the Grey Gelding.

I think extending the meet to 8 weeks seems like the appropriate number if racing is reduced to 5 days per week.

An issue that NYRA needs to address is the club house vacant seats on weekdays held by the season ticket holders.

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Very colorful day, but sad. Rather has shades of a Dick Francis novel. We need to get these diehards to bring in new fans...
