Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 30, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 30, 2018 The New York Racing Association announced Thursday that it will formally break ground on the 1863 Club at Saratoga Tuesday, Sept. 4, one day after the conclusion of the 2018 summer racing season. The 1863 Club is the official name of the new permanent building to be located at the site of the current At the Rail tent at Saratoga. The name recognizes the year of the first organized Thoroughbred race meeting in Saratoga, which took place over the course of four days in August 1863. “Following this year’s introduction of The Stretch in the Grandstand, we are excited to announce plans for the 1863 Club which will be located at the end of the Clubhouse and will add another chapter to the enhanced guest experience at Saratoga,” said NYRA CEO and president Chris Kay. “The three-story, air-conditioned building will provide new and different options for guests, including a banquet area on the first floor and a bar and dining club on the second level, which will be connected to the Clubhouse via a walkway. The third floor will feature true luxury boxes offering outstanding sight lines of the entire track. The 1863 Club, named after our first racing meet in Saratoga, continues our commitment to providing racing fans with upgraded amenities while honoring the look and feel of this historic venue.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
