A few bits about the upcoming Track season
Opening day at the Saratoga Race Course is still about a month away -- it's July 19 -- but here are a bunch of bits about the upcoming season:
+ NYRA announced the ever-popular giveaway days today: July 28 - Saratoga t-shirt day; August 11 - Fourstardave Bobblehead; August 18 - Saratoga Race Course replica model; September 1 - Saratoga beer stein. One free with each admission, while supplies last. (And, of course, some people "spin" to get many of these because... well, you'd have to ask them that.)
+ For the first time since 2000, there will be walking tours of the Track's "front side." Blurbage: "The approximately 45 minute walking tours will provide a historical overview of the facility and showcase a number of the property's highlights, including the unique architecture, landscape and traditions that encompass the Spa." Tours will be offered on the days the Track is open -- they're $3 per person, or $10 for a group of four.
+ New this year: the "Uniquely Saratoga Marketplace" on Sundays from 10:30 am-5 pm. It will include 13 vendors of "products made exclusively in New York State." You'll recognize some of them from local farmers' markets.
+ The Travers -- the biggest race of the season -- is August 24.
