- Saratoga Springs, New York
Saratoga Springs is a beautiful city in New York State. A hub for thoroughbred horse racing, it’s home to the Saratoga Race Course. The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame displays horse paintings and trophies. Saratoga Spa State Park includes mineral baths, a pool complex and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a landmark concert venue. Nearby, the Saratoga Automobile Museum exhibits vintage models and race cars. One of the top things to do in Saratoga Springs is to visit the Saratoga Race Course. The Saratoga Race Course is the oldest and largest Thoroughbred racing track in the country and brings in more than a million visitors to the area each year. The thrill of watching a race in person is unbeatable and definitely something to add to your "must-do" list for the summer. The Saratoga Race Course opened for its first race in 1863. It is considered one of the oldest racing tracks in the country, but more importantly, it's one of the oldest sporting venues of any kind in the country. It's also the home of the oldest and most esteemed Thoroughbred race of the year, The Travers Stakes (also called the Midsummer Derby). The Saratoga Race Course is considered the gold standard for tracks. The artists of Anderson Design Group have rendered this energetic scene in the style of classic 20th-Century travel and sporting posters. It will look fantastic on a canvas, poster, metal sign, postcard, or notecard.
