Saratoga Gaming and Raceway has come to an agreement with the New York
Racing Association to simulcast the entire six week Saratoga Race Course
meet beginning July 26. The agreement between the two tracks gives visitors
to Saratoga Springs, NY the opportunity to wager and view the popular
Saratoga races in two locations just minutes away from each other.
Additionally, the convenience of having two Saratoga locations to wager and
view the thoroughbred races will provide better service to the summer horse
bettors and is expected to raise the overall handle for the Saratoga Race
Course meet.
"We are very excited about covering the summer Saratoga Race Course meet and
begin a new working relationship with the New York Racing Association. The
level of horse racing that NYRA offers is second to none and we're pleased
that our loyal and new guests will be able to enjoy their races at our
location," said George "Skip" Carlson, Vice President of Racing at Saratoga
Gaming and Raceway. "We further anticipate this agreement will build an even
greater summer crowd for Saratoga and bring additional tourism dollars to
the area," he added. "Nothing beats the experience of being at the races at
Saratoga Race Course," said NYRA President and CEO, Charles E. Hayward. "But
there are many people who have to work during the summer or who can't stay
for the entire card. Now, if they can't make it to the track, they can pop
in at the Raceway and even advance wager on their selections."

To ensure bettors have a wonderful experience while viewing the Saratoga
thoroughbred races at Saratoga Gaming and Raceway, the Raceway has developed
a special $9.95 lunch buffet in Fortunes restaurant where every table has
its own LCD television, and mutuel betting windows and automatic betting
machines are conveniently located for easy wagering. The lunch buffet at
Fortunes will be offered everyday from 11:30am to 3:30pm, with the exception
of Tuesdays, July 26 through September 4. With the addition of the Saratoga
Race Course coverage, the Saratoga Gaming and Raceway simulcast schedule
will include ten different tracks daily and provide race coverage seven-days
a week. Parking and admission are always FREE at Saratoga Gaming and Raceway
and wagering on all races is at track prices. Saratoga Gaming and Raceway
also offers two different air-conditioned areas to wager on simulcast races.
