Saratoga Race Course Season Passes Now Available at Stewart's Shops (and other local news)
A quick wrap up of this week/end's local activities news and travel-related news:
Saratoga Race Course Season Passes at Stewart's-
The track season at Saratoga, the nation's oldest sporting venue of any kind in the country, will start on July 18. It's always a fun time in the area with the track's races, tours and breakfasts, and non-track things like visits to Yaddo, doughboys and crepes in downtown Saratoga, swimming at Victoria Pool, people watching on Gaffney's patio, and trips to Saratoga Lake.
You may notice I focus a bit more on the non-track things. I'm not much of a gambler. But if you are - or you enjoy the overall vibe at the track - you can now get NYRA's Saratoga season passes at area Stewart's Shops.
Here's a bit more about that as reported by our sister paper The Saratogian. The grandstand passes are $30 and the clubhouse passes are $50.
Regular admission to the track is increasing to $5 for the grandstand and $8 for the clubhouse - up from last year's fees of $3 and $5, respectively.
Or, if you want to go the old fashioned route, you can also obtain a season pass through this online form.
