Window decorating contest helps get Saratoga into Belmont spirit

Details affecting local, regional and national news events of the day are provided by the NewsChannel 13 Team, as well as updates on weather and traffic.

A window decorating contest was held in Saratoga Springs Tuesday in preparation for the upcoming Belmont Festival and race.

The race, which is the third leg of the Triple Crown, was moved from Belmont Park on Long Island to Saratoga Race Course this year due to construction.

It runs from June 6 through June 9, and will return to Saratoga Springs next year.
