2010 Saratoga Meet Saved Let The Horse Games Begin
For much of this year, it looked as if the great Thoroughbred Meet at Saratoga was not going to take place. NYRA (New York Racing Authority), the group that runs all of New York’s Thoroughbred Tracks – at Aqueduct, at Belmont and at the spa every summer at Saratoga – was out of money and on the verge of cancelling the entire meet.
If you’re a fan of “the sport of kings,” you know how serious that would be because the Saratoga meet is considered one of the best on the American racing calendar. Each year, it attracts the best horses in the country the best trainers the best owners and, of course, America’s top jockeys.
Purses are sizable, crowds are huge (weekend crowds are immense) the racing is second to none. In fact, when it comes to Thoroughbred Racing, the Summer Meet at Saratoga is the apex the very top of the sport. Cancellation of this meet would have dealt a devastating blow to the Thoroughbred Racing in general and New York Racing in particular.
But the meet was saved thanks to quick action by the New York State legislature which presented NYRA with a $25,000,000 loan, enough to keep racing alive and viable for the remainder of the year. So, this summer, if you like “the flats,” you won’t have to play free horse games online because you’ll be able to watch and wager on the real thing in upstate New York while you enjoy a weekend vacation, wonderful dining and outstanding racing.
The Saratoga Meet kicks off on July 23rd for the 142nd time and runs to about Labor Day. The loan has enabled NYRA to avoid eliminating about 1450 jobs. This year, too, as in every other year, Saratoga will be home to one of the biggest stakes races of the year the Travers. Scheduled to run on August 28th, this 141st edition of the race promises to be a major event.
It wasn’t like that the first time the race was run way back in 1864. That year, a horseman named William Travers (yes, the race is named after him), entered a horse named Kentucky, a brave and gallant runner who crossed the line first. There have been 140 more Travers races held since then as it remains one of the signature races on the Thoroughbred Racing calendar.
It’s a race that you can set up and “run” when you go on the Internet to test your skill and knowledge at websites that feature online horse racing games and other “racing fun” that allows you to establish a barn, recruit horses, enter races and compete against thousands and thousands of other fans of the sport.
If it sounds like fun, it is and in most cases, access is completely free. Go online today, find a website, get involved enjoy the nonstop action. And when time permits, visit a real track,too.
