Celebs Love Saratoga & Could Be Spotted Any Time

Celebrities love Saratoga Springs for various reasons, but the race course is definitely at the top.

Last June, the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga brought out various VIPs.

In recent years, celebrities in attendance included Idina Menzel, who sang "New York, New York" at the track; Joseph Gannascoli, known for playing Vito in "The Sopranos"; Dave Portnoy from Barstool; and Bobby Flay, a part-owner of one of last year's competing horses.

It's also worth noting that Jayson Werth was in attendance. He's the former Phillies outfielder who part-owned last year's Belmont-winning horse, Dornoch.
