It seems like the Saratoga Race Course just closed. Now with the weather getting colder and having to wait almost an entire year, we have something to look forward to. The dates are out for the 2022 Saratoga Meet.

The 2021 meet at Saratoga Race Course is going so well, that horses from around the country are risking it all to be part of the fun.

You're at Saratoga Race Course, it's a hot summer day in the Capital Region, and naturally, you're getting thirsty. What should you reach for?

Grab your bet slips and your floppy hats, because Saratoga Race Season is HERE! Here's everything you need to know ahead of Week 1.

NYRA will be given first responders, doctors, nurses, and other frontline workers free admission to the grandstand on Friday, July 16th.

Starting today, July 24th, for the first time ever, Saratoga residents will be able to order Shake Shack outside of the racetrack.

With temperatures close to 100 in the Saturday forecast, Saratoga Race Course is taking precautions to protect the horses and jockeys.

It looks as if the Saratoga track season will begin early this year. Sources close to News Channel 13 say that the Saratoga meet may start as early as when Luke Bryan comes to SPAC this summer.

It's the only partnership like this so far in the state and representatives are hoping the perfect timing of it will kick it off as a success.

As the track season winds down, there are still a few days of racing and NYRA wants to show you that you are appreciated. Fan appreciation week runs now through September 4th with discounts and specials at the Saratoga Race Course.

I grew up in Mechanicville and I am proud of it. We didn't have much to hang our hats on. Our high school sports teams were pretty good. We had Joe Cocozzo who made us proud by playing for the San Diego Chargers in the NFL. But now we claim horse trainer Chad Brown.
