It's that time of year! Rumored dates are 7/14+7/15.

I believe track season opens that weekend? I'm sure the locals will correct me on that one.

See you at SPAC!

    Thinking of going this year for the first time. Where is the best place to stay? I prefer a nicer place/location than going for cheapest place to stay.

    Any suggestions would be great!
    Thanks!

    was really hoping it was 7.7 and 7.8 as we had a killer house and everyone could make it. current rumored week means a small place and half my crew can’t make it

    It’s going to be a crazy weekend in Saratoga with track opening!

    We went for the first time last year, if you don't care about price and don't want to drive post show stay at the Gideon Putnam. 5 minute walk back after the shows and overall nice place (historic nice). We stayed at the Embassy for the pre show nights to be close to the action on Broadway but Gideon has a shuttle.

    How do the races work? Can we just get a cheap general admission pass for an afternoon pre show?

    GA (rail and picnic area) is $10 to get in. Can bring in any booze or food you want as long as it’s not glass bottles.

    because it's less seats/lottery selections available to be chosen for.
