Free Parking & Admission: There is a $10 fee for trackside parking, which is refundable if you leave before 10 am. Admission to the Track for breakfast is free. The Track is cleared after the breakfast program. If you wish to stay, you will need to pay Race Course admission upon reentry for the afternoon races.
Tram tours make breakfast at Saratoga Race Course even more enjoyable. After your meal, go for a free 45-minute tram and walking tour of the track's historic Backstretch area, watching the Paddock Show and Starting Gate Demonstration. Six tours depart every 15 minutes from 8 to 9:15 am. Tours get increasingly popular as the morning progresses, and no reservations are allowed. The Track turns away guests when tours reach capacity, so your safest bet is to grab one of the early tours if possible.
