SARATOGA SPRINGS — A Breakfast and Breeding Farm tour package has been added as a new amenity at Saratoga Race Course.

Presented by the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA), the Saratoga Breakfast and Breeding Farm tour will be offered every Friday, beginning July 15, and will accommodate up to 40 guests, according to the New York Racing Association. 

The all-inclusive fan experience package features:

Following the conclusion of breakfast at 9:30 a.m., fans will board an open-air trolley, courtesy of CDTA, at the clubhouse entrance and embark on a 15-minute ride along picturesque Saratoga Lake to Old Tavern Farm for a 90-minute experiential and educational walking tour of one of the region’s premier breeding farms.
