Tips from locals
For an inexpensive admission, feel the energy as the horses round the final turn at one of the oldest tracks in the US. Outside food and beverage are allowed, so stock up the cooler, and enjoy a day at the track. *No glass
Beautiful historic race course. Bet on the horses and enjoy great people watching.
Unique to racing at Saratoga: * Listen for the hand rung bell at exactly 17 minutes prior to scheduled post time for each race (it is calling the jockeys to the paddock) * Get close up views of the horses as they are led from the stables to the paddock along the path through the picnic grounds * Taste the water that made Saratoga Springs famous at the Big Red Spring in the picnic grounds * Note the gazebo on the infield. It was part of the inspiration for the Saratoga Race Course logo
