Hi, TJ,
My family and I have vacationed in Lake George for years.
Fully agree, it is a wonderful place to visit and stay.
I've been to all of the places you've mentioned, all great!
I'm excited that there is a steeplechase on the card for Thursday! I had no idea that they would host one. One of my favorite horse quotes is, "There are fools, damn fools, and those who remount in a steeplechase".
Abel Tasman ran a great race also:

I looked at my OTTB's past performances, as I thought Bell raced at Saratoga. She's 17 now, I couldn't remember. She raced there once, in 2003... July 27, same day I picked to go to the track.
