Most sections including the Saratoga backyard will only be for vaccinated fans. This will align with the New York State guidelines for outdoor sports, and venues which allows for full capacity. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told bloodhorse.com, "The racing season is quickly approaching, and this year we are excited to welcome fans back to the course with free admission on opening day for any individual who shows proof of vaccination. This is all part of New York's rebirth and resurgence as we continue to build back better and stronger from this pandemic.” Tickets for reserved seats in the Clubhouse, Grandstand, The Stretch, Fourstardave Sports Bar, along with season passes, will go on sale as of June 9. “NYRA thanks Governor Cuomo for the opportunity to welcome fans back to Saratoga Race Course for what is sure to be an unforgettable summer at the Spa," said NYRA president & CEO Dave O'Rourke. There will be a four-day opening weekend on Thursday July 15 to Sunday July 18.
