The New York Racing Association, Inc.

NYRA Bets Gift Cards may also be used to bet the 40-day Saratoga summer meet, July 11 – September 2, and will remain on sale at Stewart’s Shops through the conclusion of the meet.

Additionally, Saratoga Race Course season passes will be available at Stewart’s Shops beginning Monday, May 20.

“We are proud to again partner with NYRA by offering NYRA Bets Gift Cards and season passes to Saratoga Race Course as a convenience to our loyal customers,” said Gary Dake, Stewart’s Shops President. “Fans can stop by any one of our Stewart’s Shops in eight counties to get ready for this year’s historic racing season highlighted by the first-ever running of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga.”

Season passes will be on sale at Stewart’s Shops through opening weekend of the Saratoga summer meet for $90, a savings of $5 off the regular price. Fans can also purchase their season pass online for $95 at NYRA.com/Saratoga.

Official Post Parade programs will also be available daily at select Capital Region Stewart’s Shops.

Season passes provide admission for all 40 days of the summer meet, including DraftKings Travers Day. They do not include admission to the 2024 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival.

“Stewart’s Shops are a staple of Upstate New York and a longstanding partner of NYRA and Saratoga Race Course,” said Pat McKenna, NYRA Vice President of Communications. “Stewart’s broad and expanding network of Capital Region stores will again provide racing fans with access to NYRA Bets Gift Cards, season passes and Post Parade programs throughout the spring and summer. NYRA looks forward to an incredibly exciting season at Saratoga.”

NYRA Bets Gift Cards can be used to fund both active and new NYRA Bets accounts to bet hundreds of racetracks across the United States. They are available in $50 denominations at Stewart’s Shops (cash only; credit cards not accepted). There are no processing fees or premiums applied when purchasing or using NYRA Bets Gift Cards, which do not expire.
