Michael,

I was there back in February as a guest. Sat in the VIP section of the sports book. Was treated first class allthe way. So I had not issue. It was sad in a way though, because I eneded up being inside watching the races on TV vs live.

It's certainly designed with a simulcast feel to the place. It was not designed with Live Racing in mind, in my opinion. The sadling area is cramped and the walking ring seemed contrived to me.

Yes Sar and Kee and extremely cramped on Bluegrass or Travers day, but on the ohter hand you might bump into something nice!!!

Saratoga does not have all the comforts of home, but it does have ambiance, which I think Mr Stronach forgot to include in his current design.
