Yeah I know, it's only horse racing... but it's horse racing in Saratoga... 150 years of history ! Come for the history, come for the atmosphere, come to have fun, come to watch the races... This track only runs in August and part of September each year. At this time of the year, the town is more vibrant than ever.... More

Even if you aren't a gambler or a horse racing fan - you will have fun. Recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen as there is little shade near the course.

My husband is fan of the horse betting and we like to visit the race course for brunch and gather with some friends outdoors, see the horses, take nice pictures. It is a must go for every Summer season, though I am not used to eating junk food, I prefer the brunch there while watching the horses.

Even if you're not into horse racing, the Saratoga Race Course is a great place to spend the day enjoying the weather and people watching. Food choices have gone from lousy to fantastic in the last few years. There's as many people there for a good time as there are serious handicappers.

Since I believe 1864 horse racing at its finest. Something for everyone. Families can picnic outside of grandstand - bring own food and beer, wine etc... Grandstand or Clubhouse seats great. The women look fine. Just can't say enough about this track and experience. Have fun! Been going for years and will continue to as long as I can. Afterwards... More
