The New York Racing Association, Inc. and Dunkin' Donuts are partnering to provide extra value to racing fans with a special discount offer on reserved seats at Saratoga Race Course for the 2017 meet.

 Fans who purchase one reserved seat at regular price will receive $5 off the purchase of a second reserved seat with a voucher available exclusively at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants throughout the greater Capital Region. The offer is valid for reserved seats on weekdays at Saratoga Race Course (excluding Fridays).

 To receive the discount, fans must bring the voucher to the NYRA Box Office at Saratoga Race Course located at Gate A on Union Avenue. Seats are based on available inventory. No purchase is necessary. Offer is not valid with any other discounts and expires September 4, 2017.

 "We're excited to team up with the New York Racing Association to make this great value available to fans at Saratoga Race Course this season," said Dunkin' Donuts Field Marketing Manager Eric Stensland. "Our guests can now hit a daily double multiple ways this summer thanks to Dunkin' Donuts."

 In addition to serving as the sponsor of the early and late Daily Double at Saratoga Race Course, Dunkin' Donuts will donate one pound of coffee to the Backstretch Employee Service Team for each win by the leading owner, trainer and jockey of the 2017 season. The donation will take place on the final day of the Saratoga season, Monday, September 4.
