Saratoga Race Course, one of America's oldest horse racing venues, comes alive each July through Labor Day with the Saratoga meet.

The atmosphere blends high-stakes racing with family-friendly fun, including breakfast trackside and fashion shows. Distinctive features include the historic clubhouse and the tradition of sipping mint juleps while cheering on thoroughbreds.
