The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced that single-day tickets for reserved seats in the clubhouse, grandstand and Cutwater Stretch at Saratoga Race Course will go on sale beginning at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 4.

Single-day tickets for reserved tables in the Miller Time Fourstardave Sports Bar will be available for purchase beginning on Wednesday, May 11, and for the Pick Six Picnic Paddock and Tailgate at the Turn on Wednesday, May 18. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com.

The clubhouse and grandstand offer racing fans traditional open-air seating and access to some of Saratoga Race Course’s best views. At the Top of the Stretch, the Cutwater Stretch, a private hospitality area presented by Cutwater Spirits, offers modern and upscale amenities such as a full-service bar, kitchen, concessions, high-definition televisions and private restrooms in a casual environment with outstanding views of the final turn.

The Miller Time Fourstardave Sports Bar, named in honor of the 1991 New York-bred Horse of the Year who famously won a race at Saratoga each year during an improbable eight-year stretch between 1987 and 1994, includes more than 80 tables and 60 flat-screen televisions, popular food vendors and an extensive beer selection. Tables accommodate two, four and six guests.

The Pick Six Picnic Paddock features more than 100 tables located adjacent to the historic saddling paddock. Tables are available with paid reservation and accommodate up to six guests. The Pick Six Picnic Paddock is presented by Saratoga-based Pick Six vodka.

The Tailgate at the Turn is a drive-up picnic area that welcomes fans to experience a day at the races from a unique vantage point overlooking the first turn. Guests are invited to bring their own picnic fare or visit track concession stands. There are sixteen sections available, each accommodating up to six fans.

Highlighted by the 153rd renewal of the Grade 1, $1.25 million Runhappy Travers on August 27 and the Grade 1, $1 million Whitney on August 6, the 2022 summer meet at historic Saratoga Race Course will open on Thursday, July 14, and continue through Monday, September 5.

Following the four-day opening weekend, racing will be conducted five days a week, Wednesdays through Sundays, apart from the final week, when the meet will conclude on Labor Day
