The forecast calls for the temperatures on Monday to be in the upper 60's! It seems that everything that moves has spring fever, including this pair of horses.
You may remember when Saratoga Springs had beautifully painted fiberglass horses throughout the city or the giant painted fiberglass ballet slipper. The next activity that is aimed at bringing the city together has the beauty of the horses and a ballet slipper but with an added twist and a fun treasure hunt.
It hasn't been an easy go in the past ten years for one legendary restaurant in Saratoga that depends on the Saratoga Race Course season. Now under new management and hiring a talented chef, Siro's will be opening this summer for the track season.
Saturday's Kentucky Derby will be interesting to watch for people in the Capital Region. Not only is it the biggest horserace of the season, but there are a couple of local ties to the "Run For The Roses". One is a horse and the other is a trainer.
These are a few of the cutest furry friends all dressed up for Halloween. These may give you some ideas for your pet's costume. Thanks to everyone in the Capital Region and beyond who submitted their pets' photos for our gallery on Facebook.
One of my first jobs was working at the Saratoga Race Course when I was sixteen. Not only did I get a job there, but there were also many of my teachers that also worked at the track during the summer. If you are interested, NYRA is holding a job fair on June 11th and 12th.
It's still hard to believe that the Saratoga Race Course opens this week and there will be no spectators allowed. We all understand why, but it definitely will be weird. NYRA is implementing safety plans to make sure that those who try and come to hang out are deterred from doing so.
There will be more room for picnic space this year at the Saratoga Race Course. NYRA announced that they have removed a structure that has been in place for the past ten years.
If you don't want to go to that holiday party empty-handed, bring the Budweiser. They are coming out with limited-edition cans with beautiful pictures of their classic Clydesdales.
I'm all for the support of animals, especially police animals. There's something about animals putting their lives on the line to support or save us humans. Animals truly are saints.
