If you ask someone, "What's Saratoga like?" they
will tell you it is unlike any other destination. A combination of
tradition, beauty and excitement. Saratoga Race Course is a timeless
treasure - and is the "Summer Place To Be."
True racing fans come to experience the heart pounding
excitement of watching the finest and fastest thoroughbreds in the world.
Others just stroll the grounds, people watch, enjoy the festivities and
ambiance of the country's oldest race course.
The Saratoga Race Course experience is something different
for everyone. Some bring their entire family and picnic on the grounds. For
others, it's a true social occasion based on tradition.
In a sense, Saratoga Race Course is a melting pot. Young,
old, tourists and those who live nearby all make Saratoga part of their
summer plans.
