For many vacationing in greater Schroon Lake area, a stay is not complete without a trip to the world famous summer horses racing at Saratoga Springs.

The 2018 season for the Saratoga Race Course begins with Opening Day on Friday, July 20, 2018 and ends with Closing Day on Monday (Labor Day), September 3, 2018. There are 6 days of racing each week all season long (the Track is dark on Tuesdays). Travers Day will be Saturday, August 25, 2018.

That that means re-publishing our insiders guide to having a great day at the track, written by horse racing fan and Schroon Laker, Joanne Piterniak.
