More race days coming to Saratoga track in 2025

Saratoga Race Course will have four more days of horse racing in 2025.

The New York Racing Association released its racing schedule for next year on Tuesday, announcing a July 4 Racing Festival move from Belmont Park to Saratoga. The event, running from July 3-6, is in addition to the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival being held for the second straight year in Saratoga.

Belmont Park renovations are ongoing, so Saratoga Race Course will host the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown on June 7. It’s part of a five-day festival at the Spa.

Saratoga’s usual 40-day summer racing season will begin Thursday, July 10, with races running through Sept. 1. It includes the annual Travers Stakes on Aug. 23.
