I had 4 guests in town so we lined up at the ticket office at 3:30 Friday and at 5:00 were able to get 4 "sun seats" in N.

The hell with the loyal readers, hope you made some money on it.<br /><br />I was also surprised that the crowd figure was so low despite the weather forecast....Saratoga fans are usually a heartier breed than that.
