Best track in the country, but bring your own picnic lunch. Restaurants are pricey with dress codes. Shake Shake (of NYC fame) and Blue Smoke BBQ are there, along with some local resturants and lots of fast food. Bring your own picnic lunch (including beer/wine), but NO GLASS. More

Very impressive race course. I went here on a day when there were not many races, and I could still feel the buzz from the grand stands. A must if you visit Saratoga Springs. You will learn a bit of the heritage and fall in love with the atmosphere. More
