The civic-minded boffins here insist Saratoga’s motto is Health, History and Horses. First of all, that’s the wrong order - horses should come first because they bring in a lot more dough-ray-me than the other two. Second of all, health isn’t a big profit center, alcohol is - stop by Purdy’s Discount Liquors, 70 Congress Street, at 6 pm on a Friday during the meet if you require proof and third of all, yeah, sure, we got history, but that was a along time ago as frequently happens with history. Fourth of all, the Town Fathers don’t mention the single most important H, so I will.
