So, Bubby, you feeling a little sorry for yourself and your family, because there’s no NYRA Open House this year? (The Open House would have been this coming Sunday, July 19th. Always the Sunday before Opening Day at Saratoga Race Course.)<\/i><\/p>\n

So, no Open House. Wah.<\/b> That’s great, because God–Who always makes A Way<\/b>, where there seems to be No Way–has provided another opportunity for you to be on-campus at our regal Queen of Race Courses the weekend prior to Opening Day! <\/i><\/div>\n
AND, instead of just stuffing faces with hot dogs and cotton candy, this experience will give you the opportunity to stuff your heart and soul with beautiful visual, olfactory and aural memories. You can sit on the legendary Clubhouse Porch. Watch the gorgeous horses working out in that oft-praised, Saratoga Sunrise. Hear the sounds of the horses breathing: “Huh-huh-huh,” and laying down those golden hooves…<\/i><\/div>\n
And, lest you think that your senses of taste and touch will miss out on this one-of-a-kind experieince, fear not, for you are cordially invited to Breakfast on the Porch–where you’ll taste yummy Continental Breakfast <\/b>victuals and strong coffee. Your sense of touch will be stimulated as you shake hands with your hosts, Chaplain Humberto Chavez<\/b>; Saratoga Springs’ own Mayor, the Honorable Joanne Yepsen<\/b> and renowned Trainer, Nick Zito<\/b>.<\/div>\n
Yes, folks, you are invited <\/b>to join the Race Track Chaplaincy of America–New York Division<\/b>–for the first of their three events during the Saratoga meet.<\/i><\/div>\n
This Saturday–JULY 18–at 8AM,<\/b> the aforementioned hosts and guests will greet you on the world’s most beautiful Clubhouse Porch at Saratoga Race Course,<\/b> to break bread (Continental Breakfast), drink pots of good, strong coffee; discuss the coming race meet and to hear about all the wonderful reasons why you should love and support the Chaplaincy.<\/div>\n
And you should. <\/b>Every year, the Chaplaincy works to bless and enhance the lives and souls of thousands of good people who work at America’s race tracks. Our New York NYRA tracks–Saratoga, Belmont and Aqueduct–all are served by the New York Division: Chaplain Humberto, his wonderful wife, Karen Chavez and scores of volunteers and donors.<\/div>\n
If your only excuse for not attending the Continental Breakfast this Saturday is that you’re “…not a ‘religious’ person…”–forget it. You don’t have to be<\/b> a “religious” person–but you do<\/i> have to respect those whose relationships with the Almighty have led them to serve others, selflessly, 24\/7\/365. <\/div>\n
Let’s see: you love horse racing. You eat food. <\/b>You’d go out to McDonald’s or Dunkin’s on a Saturday morning, anyway. May as well drop that same thirty bucks on a Breakfast with Benefits<\/b>: eat–chat–watch horses work out–be blessed.<\/div>\n
The odds of you, having a friendly conversation with Nick Zito while standing in line at McDonald’s?<\/b><\/div>\n
ZERO. <\/b><\/div>\n
On the Clubhouse Porch, helping to raise funds and awareness for the Chaplaincy? 100%.<\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
Saturday. July 18th. 8AM. RSVP: rtcany@aol.com <\/b><\/div>\n
Easy as that.<\/b><\/div>\n
