Eric has wanted to take me to Saratoga since we met. Horse racing is one of his favorite things, so he's been tucking money away for a while to plan this trip. I had no idea how beautiful this area would be. This has been a very hot summer, so high 70's and mid 80's with low humidity was awesome! The horses were gorgeous and we had a blast!
This place was so fun...I loved the red and white everywhere!
Loved the picnic family atmosphere!
This band played everyday...so fun! Eric said they've been here for years!
Here are all the silks hanging ready for the jockey's.
This is what we would do...Here we are studying our daily racing forms....
The bugler making the call to post...
Here they come to post...
...and we would go over and watch them walk in to see how they looked.
My favorite jockey Calvin Borel!
Eric and I would watch the horses come in...then either go inside the clubhouse to see the race on the big screen...or
go up top and watch!
Gorgeous view from up here!
...or go down to the track to watch!
Here we were the day of the Traver's Race! We went hat shopping in downtown Saratoga for my Traver's race hat...that was so fun.
Eric was in hog heaven!!
Calvin again
Hats.... 
Hats.... and more Hats!! So fun!!
