cruise... or pick up the pace with world-class equine events!
One of the best
things about hosting your event in Saratoga is how easy it is to
answer the question, "What is there to do?"For the
adventurous, Saratoga has many fascinating historic sites and
museums to explore. From Saratoga National Historic Park, to the
National Museum of Racing and Thoroughbred Hall of Fame, to the
unique
Bottle Museum,
Saratoga Automobile Museum,
Tang Museum,
the wonderful
Children's Museum or the
NYS Military Museum -
Saratoga has so much to offer you.
For exciting spectator sport, you won't want to miss the
action when horses take center stage in Saratoga. Depending on
the season, you can see world-class thoroughbred or harness
racing, polo, dressage, barrel racing and even an exciting
rodeo!
Let your child be a jockey for the day at the “Just for Kids” exhibit at the
National Museum of Racing & Thoroughbred Hall of Fame or for another activity the whole family will enjoy, take a short ride to lovely Lake George where you can enjoy a scenic cruise. |

On August 13th, 1920, during the Sanford Stakes at Saratoga,
Man O'War suffered his
only defeat in his legendary career. He lost at the wire to a
horse named Upset - a
name that established the word in the lexicon of sports defeats.
