yawn, this debate goes on every summer
different stroks for different folks. no doubt that saratoga has a deeper pool of horses with several states shipping horses in and thus has a better product, but you have to deal with many many days of rain were the turf racing turns to 4 and 5 horse dirt races after hourse of planning. You also have to deal with pletcher the first two weeks (probably runs at 80% tops that period).
It will be interesting to see if the trends continue from belmont summer where the straight alw races and high level claiming races could hardly fill unless they run optional claiming.
