Livingston, who grew up near Saratoga Springs, New York, honors its history, evoking the ghosts of the golden age of Diamond Jim Brady and the Canfield Casino, revering the deer that browse the historic Saratoga Battlefield in deepening twilight, and celebrating the racegoers who flock to the track year after year.
