Ever since George Washington came here following the decisive battle of the Revolutionary War nearby and tried – unsuccessfully – to buy one of the Saratoga springs, the high and the mighty have been drawn to Saratoga. They come for the restorative powers of its mineral-water springs, the only carbonated waters east of the Rockies. They come to watch the horses at America's oldest and most scenic thoroughbred race track. They come for the amenities of the meticulous Saratoga Spa State Park, a complex of columned brick Greek Revival buildings and archways harboring a resort hotel, a theater, swimming-pool pavilions and baths, all set among lawns and towering pines sheltering a golf course, a skating pond and more. They come for the concerts at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, summer home of the New York City Ballet, the Philadelphia Orchestra and many a visiting pop-rock performer. They come to eat and drink, to bet and be merry, to see and be seen.

All you want to know about racing in Saratoga! The Saratoga Race Track is the oldest in the country and widely considered one the most beautiful. Now the facilities are elaborate enough to make it a fun day for up to 50,000. Most of the track's success is due to efforts to cater towards families. There are picnic grounds, dining facilities, music, television monitors and concession throughout the park. All parts of the track are accented by an unmistakeable red and white candycane theme that helps unify the expansive grounds.
