SARATOGA SPRINGS — Last week, a new 6,000 square-foot dormitory on the Oklahoma Training Track side of the Saratoga Race Course was unveiled. The building adds 68 residences for backstretch workers and their families.

The New York Racing Association (NYRA) is also renovating existing backstretch housing on both the Oklahoma and main track sides of the property. Work is expected to continue through 2025. Once completed, the projects will become the largest upgrade to backstretch housing in the history of the Saratoga Race Course.
