The Oklahoma Training Track at Saratoga Race Course will open for the 2025 season on Saturday, April 19.

The New York Racing Association is expanding access to the track this year. Starting April 19, and continuing up until the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, the Whitney Viewing Stand will be open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. In previous years, the Oklahoma Training Track and Whitney Viewing Stand were accessible to the public on weekends only prior to the start of the Saratoga summer meet. 

NYRA will provide updated operating hours for the Whitney Viewing Stand before the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, June 4-8. Beginning June 9 and continuing through Labor Day, the Whitney Viewing Stand will be open to the public daily from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. 

Pedestrians may access the Oklahoma Training Track by entering the property via Gate 21 off East Avenue, but fans are reminded that vehicles are not permitted on the property at this time.

Also starting on April 23, fans can make dining reservations for the summer season, including the July 4th Racing Festival, for Saratoga’s popular Clubhouse restaurants: Turf Terrace, Club Terrace and The Porch. Reservations can be made Ticketmaster.com.
