To get to Saratoga from New York City, “you drive north for about 175 miles, turn left on Union Avenue and go back 100 years,” wrote the famed sportswriter Red Smith. Along with the racetrack, a number of stately Victorian homes built in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are located along Union Avenue, which is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The race, a six-furlong event for New York-bred fillies are mares, was first run in 2004.
