How to resolve AdBlock issue? SARATOGA SPRINGS - The second annual Taste of Travers, a one-of-a-kind celebration of horse racing in Saratoga, will take place on Aug. 25 at the National Museum of Dance. All proceeds will benefit the Saratoga Senior Center and Saratoga WarHorse.
The senior center has received some questions about another event scheduled for that evening and provided this statement to alleviate any confusion.
Prestwick Chase, the title sponsor of last year’s Taste of Travers, had previously agreed to sponsor again, but unexpectedly pulled out this summer. Prestwick Chase then began to plan its own separate event on the same evening, according to Lois Celeste, executive director of the Saratoga Senior Center.
“It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion with a new event scheduled for the same evening,” said Celeste.
“We would like to clarify that the Senior Center is not a beneficiary of this new event, and the Taste of Travers Celebration at the National Museum of Dance on Aug. 25 is the one and only official Travers gala of the Saratoga racing season benefitting the Saratoga Senior Center," continued Celeste.
"From a special guest appearance by celebrity chef Julie Taboulie, to a Travers handicapping session with Bruno De Julio and Tom Durkin, gourmet food by Old Daley Catering, a Makers Mark bourbon bar, and live music by Bluz House Rockers with special guest Julian Fleisher, it will be an unforgettable celebration on the eve of Travers,” she added.
Sponsors of this year’s event include the New York Giants, Starlight Racing, Starladies Racing, DeCrescente Distributing Co., Bill and Gloria Lawrence, NYSTEC, DePaula Chevrolet, and many more.
