  5. Saratoga Springs: A very full day at the races

    In the summer of 1863, ex-prizefighter and future Congressman John Morrissey concluded that the well-heeled patrons at the trendy upstate resort town of Saratoga Springs could benefit - and he could profit - from having a little mental stimulation between mindless salt baths. And so was born the annual Saratoga Race Course meet of the New York Racing Association (NYRA), six weeks of creative and recreational horsing around in the relative cool and sophistication of the Spa City. While the town itself still caters heavily to the thoroughbred set, there is much to amuse, entertain, and educate horse enthusiasts of all stripes - and ages for that matter - as unlike many other tracks, the Grand Old Lady of Saratoga actually welcomes minors. So grab the kids and gallop north for what is destined to be a truly memorable day at the races.
