If you've been to the Saratoga Race Course so far this track season there is a chance you've seen two women standing out among the crowd. If you haven't seen them with your own eyes, you've probably heard of them and wondered, "what's that all about?"

When I was a kid, we went to the Saratoga Race Course a lot. We would get all dressed up and go early to do breakfast with my sisters, my mom and my grandmother. Then we would stay for the day and wander around and watch the races. There wasn't much for us to do at the track as kids but now they have made it a priority for kids to have fun.

Labor Day doesn't just stand out as the last day of track season in Saratoga, it also means another very successful year for business owners in the spa city.

I thought I'd spread the word about a really neat day that's especially designed for kids - It's Family Mondays!

That's about as knowledgeable as I can be with horses.  Sorry, but I just don't have the time for studying the history of every one of these beautiful creatures, but I still really like the atmosphere.  Are you coming to the track?

It was fun because we took my father-in-law, Warren.  It was short because it was probably the hottest day of the year.  But none of us regretted it, because it's an annual tradition to go to the Saratoga Race track.  Here are a few shots from Saturday, August 4th:
