Track Info
Saratoga Gaming and Raceway is a 1⁄2-mile standardbred harness racing dirt track located in Saratoga Springs, New York, just across Nelson Avenue from Saratoga Race Course which hosts thoroughbred racing each August. Saratoga Gaming and Raceway also includes a video gaming facility, The Racino.
Saratoga Raceway opened in 1941, and was the third racetrack to have pari-mutuel wagering. The track is a half-mile in distance, requiring 2 full laps to complete the normal 1 mile race.
In 2005 and 2006, Saratoga Gaming and Raceway was host to the New York Sire Stakes Night of Champions. The night of champions, normally ran at Yonkers Raceway, was brought to Saratoga Gaming and Raceway because of the renovations being done to Yonkers, converting their track to a racino.
