The Races at Saratoga

We spent part of opening day at the horse races. We arrived quite early to get a parking space. It is a very large race track and lots of people attend. There are 3 tracks, one inside the other and which one used depends on the type of racing going on. The outside track is used for traditional horse races. There are many areas outside of the stands to sit. Many people bring coolers (with beer), and chairs. They set up on the grounds and only watch the races on the TV monitors. There are many vendors. We explored. We watched one race from our seats and several others from the railing next to the track.
