We all know Steve Asmussen is a busy man but with the money he makes you’d think he’d buy an umbrella (hint: they sell them in the gift shop at the track).
Steve in the winner’s circle after Jardin’s win the Schuylerville
Jardin, those white dots in the picture are rain drops, it was pouring
Steve does it again, Incognito ($700,000 Keeneland grad) wins the first baby race of the meet. More of those umbrella things in the background, you’d think Steve would catch on about how handy they are
Star Player takes the opener. Eibar Coa hand signals that he’d like a beer to celebrate
Dining at Saratoga, it’s pricey, for your seventy odd bucks you get to sit at ground level on the clubhouse turn and watch the races on a monitor. What a bargain. I had a slice of $4.25 slice of pizza and a $6.50 can of beer instead.
And guess what, the toilets worked. The NYRA Nation can pee at will, thanks Charlie Hayward!

Hi Spa
I found it thrilling that there was hot water. At Philly Park there is no such thing.

Okay … this comment is really late but you can read it and address it at a later writing: “Who can possibly eat $72 worth of food in an afternoon??” I’m lucky enough to grab a half-piece of a dried out ’salmon’ (that’s what the buffet guys call it, anyway) and a scoop of jello. Can I actually get my money’s worth at Buffet Saratoga????
