As mentioned earlier, Saratoga Springs is horse race center during August. The facility looks great for hundred-year-old track. The buildings and lawns overflowed with about 30,000 racing fans. We were fortunate to have our own area in the Paddock Tent where we again enjoyed a great buffet lunch and watched the saddling of the horses right out the window. Everyone got a free long sleeve Tshirt as a souvenir. We were all winners in a day free of rain and filled with good fun.
The Saratoga Racing Museum does an excellent job of paying tribute to the historical sport of kings and commoner alike. The Hall of Fame had a few names, like Shoemaker and Seabiscuit, that even the uninformed could recognize. The special exhibit on veterinary medicine taught us about the unique anatomy of a horse, particularly a racehorse.
