A Day at the Races

 


Ulysses S. Grant famously loved horses, and after the war was no stranger to Saratoga Springs. So I'll be setting up shop, signing and selling my books, at Saratoga Race Course tomorrow with Mike Lesser from Grant Cottage, which will get half the proceeds. Tomorrow being Friday, August 25, the day before they run the Travers. Gates open at 11.
