Matt A once again comes through for Redmen Redfans. He told me he can get 10 members here in for $500 a ticket instead of the $1250 per ticket cost. Anyone interested pm me and I’ll coordinate it with Matt A

Tomorrow’s StJ’s N$L event in Saratoga has been cancelled because the Raceway has cancelled its entire race card due to weather.

Try The Bunker on Broadway. It’s a New place that recently opened.

I’ll be honest Caroline St ain’t what it use to be. I heard they’ve had close to Gaffney’s early due to stabbings. My boys and I followed some big booty Latinas into soundbar they were there for a bachelorette.

Tough break for the program, as that's a lot of potential NIL revenue that won't be seen, but NYRA really had no choice. The upstate NY area is expected to get slammed by this storm.

Yeah definitely too bad. That was going to be a great event

Maybe not but still many fond memories of the “Tin and Lint” on Caroline Street.

‘American Pie’ Still Homemade, but With a New Twist (Published 2011)

A bar in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., has a plaque claiming to be the place where Don McLean scribbled the lyrics to “American Pie” in 1970, but he has debunked that tale.

Yeah, we were hesitant about going when the Wednesday AccuWeather forecast was 4-8 inches of rain for Friday. Thursday morning it dropped to 2-4 so off we go! Rained the whole way up then when we get there the forecast kicked back to 4-8 inches. Fun time! At dinner on Thursday about 6 get a text from Matt about the cancellation. We were staying until today anyway so you go with the flow. Had a chance to walk on Broadway a bit on Friday but then Debby decided to visit big time. Visibility was nil and the sewers were oveflowing. But it blew out pretty fast but I guess the NYRA made the right call. Went to the track on Saturday wearing an SJU polo and talked to a guy who saw Pitino at the Horseshoe that morning; tried to see if we would see him come in but missed him.

First time at Saratoga and nice place to visit but waiting 30 minutes between races gets old. Especially when you lose. If anyone has ever gone to the Far Hills (NJ) Race Meeting that what it reminded me of. Lots of young, well dressed people drinking all day. But at Saratoga you get the hardcore gamblers, a group that is absent at Far Hills.

I did get a lot of responses from people about my polo, including today from a guy who whose wife is related to Mac Kinsbrunner, a Wonder Five member. A team even before my time, although I think my father saw them play.

I’ve only been to Saratoga, do other tracks have less than 30 minutes in between? Or do you just mean in general if you're there in person?
