Saratoga Morning Workout

Saratoga Race Course is open to the public to watch the horses during their morning workouts.  My brother, sister-in-law, and I brought in breakfast and sat in the Grand Stands watching these magnificent animals run, full throttle down the for final stretch of the track.  Thrilling!  This track is still natural, that is, real dirt, unlike so many others that have gone to synthetic dirt (what ever that is).  The announcer, who was a former trainer, said the track was in great shape and FAST.  She was right. The jockeys rode their mounts full out...

What a way to start the day!
