I was 10 years old in 1977 and I begged my father to take me to Saratoga and watch Forego run. That morning it was pouring but my father relented and took me anyway. Anyone who was there will remember how bad it was and how bad Forego ran that day. It didn't matter to me. I remember it being so dark at post time that they turned on the Grandstand lights. I just took my ten year old son to the Saratoga the other day. He didn't care about takeout percentages or "magician" trainers and for that particular day either did I. I just hope the sport is around for him to enjoy in 40 years.
