Thursday, July 27 – Amplify Horse Racing Experience Saratoga Student Horse Racing Tours

These immersive behind-the-scenes tours are tailored to high school and college students and aim to educate them about the number of career opportunities in racing.

This segment includes visiting a trainer’s barn, speaking with a veterinarian, having a discussion about aftercare, and learning about racetrack maintenance.
