Local Company Donates Saratoga Track Videos to Museums

By Staff Report | Business

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Myriad Productions has donated videos about track history to two Saratoga Springs museums—the National Museum of Racing and the Saratoga History Museum.

Both are playing a six and a half minute overview covering the last 150 years of the Saratoga flat track. In addition, the Racing Museum will also feature several memoirs from notable horse people—Tom Durkin, Richie Migliore and Allen Jerkens are among those recalling racing moments and anecdotes from their personal experiences at the Spa.  

“The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is very grateful to Ralph Pascucci and Myriad Productions for allowing the Museum to showcase these outstanding videos of Saratoga’s racing history and recollections from many notable racing figures,” said Brien Bouyea, the Museum’s communications officer. “These videos will greatly enhance the visitor experience at the Museum.” 

Produced by five-time Emmy winner Ralph Pascucci, the videos are a part of a larger project “Saratoga Memoirs,” a website dedicated to provide a video resource for Saratoga’s rich history.  Still in development, the site will be a compilation of reminiscences about living in Saratoga, as well as other video materials relating to its history.  The videos can also be seen at saratogamemoirs.com.
