Into The Stretch: Saratoga Events, August 21 – September 3

What’s Going On In Saratoga, Week 5: August 15 – 22

The weather hasn’t been at its finest, but here’s hoping some vintage, crisp Saratoga air finds its way to use this week. Still working on the calendar of events for the whole meet, and with posting…
