We spend our summers in Saratoga Springs, a great place to be in the summer especially during track season. Everyone with an interest in horse racing will be focused on Saratoga Springs this week with the burning question – Will Rachel Alexandra run in the Travers? She didn’t run Saturday in the Alabama so she’ll work again this week and hopefully by Wednesday the world will know if she’s running in the Travers.
If you’ve never been to Saratoga Springs during track meet it should go on your list of places not to miss. While it can be very expensive to visit Saratoga during track season, it doesn’t have to be unaffordable. We’ve put together a short video – Saratoga Springs on the cheap – 4 days $400. The $400 includes lodging, meals and entertainment for two people. There are a lot of free and low cost things to do in Saratoga Springs during August and we couldn’t include them all but we will be sure to blog about them in the future. If you haven’t made plans for next weekend, consider heading to Saratoga Springs, NY. It’s a gem of a city and the most exciting place to be on August 29th. We’ll be there – stop by and see us if you make it to the track, we’ll be in box B15.
Here’s a link to the video – would love to hear your feedback – so far three 5 star ratings.

Update – 8/24 – Rachel will not be running in the Travers but will run in the Woodward. Rachel is so impressive, the purse for the Woodward was raised to $750,000 (from $500,000). Mine That Bird and Summer Bird running in the Travers and Rachel running in the Woodward, what an exciting week in Saratoga.
