I would love to catch the racing in Hong Kong.

The noise level when those beautiful horses flew down the home stretch was absolutely mad.<br /><br />Sounds like you had a great trip.

Saratog...Thanks, Natalie for sharing your pictures. Saratoga looks so beautiful, with its historic nature and gorgeous grounds. If you ever travel to the West Coast, I'd say that Emerald Downs in WA has an awfully pretty setting, with Mt. Rainier rising in the background. But Santa Anita in Southern California is my favorite track, especially if a slight breeze has cleared away any smog, giving you an unobstructed view of the San Gabriel Mountains from the grandstands. Quite lovely.Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-5716129439377306882012-08-19T10:10:55.518-07:002012-08-19T10:10:55.518-07:00Wonderful story and pix!

I very much enjoyed my "virtual" visit to Saratoga--which is fun, cause I doubt I'll go in real life, it being on the opposite coast and racehorses not my passion. But I do remember the thrill of going to Bay Meadows as a child with my grandfather--its a memory I'll never forget. There's just something about the track...Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.com
