About the Trail

Across the region, Harness racing is in our blood and heritage. The sport has a long, continues history across the region going back to the early 1800s.

Experience the harness tradition, year round with races concentrated each year from April-November with hundreds of race meets spread across our feature tracks along the Atlantic Racing Trail

Throioughbred racing, the Sport of kings, has a storied history and was once America’s most popular sport. On the Atlantic Racing Trail, we have just one Thoroughbred track and it is one of the most famous in the world. It operates each summer and attracks racefans from around the region and globe to Saratoga Springs, NY.

Horse racing, in all its form, is in peril - in our connected, always on, unlimited entertainment era, horse racing has declined in poplularity despite being rife with human and equine drama backed up by world class athletcism. Make horse racing part of your vacation and travel plans, support the workers and horsemen working hard each day to keep his important part of our history alive.
