We all know about the near Perfection of Saratoga.....the splendor, the history, the
horses.
For a great look at all that, check out the PBS documentary
on Saratoga Race Course which premiered last night locally on PBS in the Capital
Region area and will be re-broadcast on
Tuesday, July 30th at &:30 pm, and again on August 23 at
9 pm and August 24th at 10:30 am. You can find out more at the WMHT website
here.
As for the silliness:
Do we really need the annual "The Sport is Dying"
articles to be run across front pages such as sourpuss Jim Odato's take
splashed on the front page of the Times Union (Albany, NY) on Sunday? You lose me quickly Jimmy Boy with illogical and brain dead comparisons. Comparing this years non Triple Crown Belmont attempt to a
Triple Crown attempted (up until the day before) Belmont regarding attendance drop is just plain dumb.
No Adelphi Hotel? Yes it is true. The Historic Hotel on
Broadway, undergoing a complete renovation, has been closed since the end of
last years meet and despite the best wishes of many fans, will not reopen in
time for this years meet. The latest
news on the place has the owners awaiting approval on their design plans from
the Saratoga Springs Design Review Commission. So cross your fingers and hope
all gets finished in time for a 2014 meet opening.
More silliness, the plans include a new glass-enclosed
“conservatory” that would replace the popular outdoor rear patio. How silly.
