Live harness racing resumed in September and will continue to be held four days a week through Dec. 18.<\/p>\n

Thursdays will feature a 4 p.m. post time. Friday and Saturday racing begins at 6:45 p.m. and Sundays start at 12:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

The racing season features eight New York Sire Stakes Consolation Finals, which will offer a combined $200,000 in purses. Other highlights include the Jim Derue Memorial Trotting Series and Gary Kamal Memorial Pacing Series, both kicking off their first legs on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to an exciting second half of our 2016 season,” said John Matarazzo, director of racing operations at Saratoga Casino Hotel. “We’ve already seen some tremendous moments thus far, and we wish all of our horsemen the best of luck as we look to cap out the year on a high note.”<\/p>\n

Returning is the weekly "World's Finest" handicapping contests via SaratogaBets, Saratoga Casino Hotel's interactive wagering platform. SaratogaBets members will be able to participate in online handicapping contests featuring races from Saratoga Harness, Batavia Downs and Yonkers Raceway.<\/p>\n

Fortunes is open for a dinner buffet on Fridays and Saturdays beginning at 5 p.m., and a Sunday brunch buffet starting at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n
