\nSARATOGA SPRINGS – The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame hosted a 1920s thoroughbred racing-themed murder mystery event on Saturday, January 20. About 75 guests were immersed in the glamour of Saratoga Springs during the \u201cRoaring Twenties\u201d with the proceedings MC’d by the Newport Murder Mystery group.

\nThe 1920s were defined by gambling, danger, deception and tremendous thoroughbred racing. The legendary Man o\u2019 War was the greatest sports figure of the time. He even had his own security guards to protect him from murder plots organized by gambling interests. Tonight’s guests met a cast of colorful period characters \u2026 including mega-gambler\/fixer Arnold Rothstein – and other nefarious characters, who were trusted at the guests’ peril!

\nThe crime scene was spread throughout Museum\u2019s historic collection and artwork. Guests heard ‘gunshots’ and discovered that, in fact, “Mo” had fallen dead by an unknown assailant’s hand (or hands!) Clues were dispensed and enjoyed with an open bar all night, dinner and dessert catered by the Brook Tavern.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nEven the live auction had some clues for those with sharp eyes and ears. The auction raiised over $1,000 for this inaugural event, with one lucky winner receiving a day at the Saratoga races in 2018 in the Museum\u2019s clubhouse box.
