A lot of people seem to like NCAA Lacrosse. I never quite got into lacrosse, but I know it has a passionate fan base.

I'm not a huge gambler, you don't have to be to enjoy the track. Plus, Saratoga is all about the scene. You never know what celebrities you might see, there's great food & drinks, and just strolling around is a lot of fun. I bet a couple of bucks here and there, nothing major.

When I worked there I was much more in tune as to who the big trainers/jockeys/horses were. Now I just pick up a program and try to act like I know what I'm doing. But again for me it's more about just taking in the whole scene that's fun.
