SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Springs Race Course got the all clear to open up without a live audience for the hectic 2020 summer. Lots of fans were bummed about not being able to go out and experience one of Saratoga’s top summer attractions. However, NYRA is looking to keep these enthusiasts entertained over the summer by streaming their races online and by making off track betting even more accessible. With eight weeks packed full of stake races and derbies, be sure not to miss out on any of the action this summer.
