Clubhouse Breakfast at the Track
Editor's Note (12/3/2024): The following details are from the 2024 season. Stay tuned for 2025 updates!
Every racing day during the summer meet (except for Travers Day and Labor Day), you can have breakfast on The Porch of the Clubhouse at Saratoga Race Course and watch the horses work out! This uniquely Saratoga experience is not to be missed, and we highly recommend enjoying breakfast at the track at least once this summer.

Frequently Asked Questions about Breakfast at the Track
Do I need reservations?
No, breakfast is first-come, first-served.
If I buy breakfast, does that include my admission to races for that day?
No, unfortunately not. The track will be cleared prior to the start of racing and you will need to pay Race Course admission on re-entry for the afternoon races.
Are there tours included with breakfast?
For the 2024 summer meet, NYRA has announced that mornings at Saratoga Race Course will feature free, guided backstretch tram tours, courtesy of the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA).
