Saratoga Park Memorial

Saratoga Race Course stands as a historic venue for Thoroughbred horse racing in Saratoga Springs, New York. Since its inauguration in 1863, it has earned recognition as potentially the oldest major sporting site in the United States. It follows only a few other established racecourses in age. The Saratoga meet, initially a brief four-day event, has seen its duration steadily increase over the decades. For many years, it spanned four weeks, starting in late summer. Today, the racing season extends over 40 days, from mid-July until the Labor Day holiday.
