\nbeing created at Saratoga Race Course this year.<\/p>\n

The Walk of Fame is among the changes this

\ncommemorative plaques honoring industry leaders,
\nincluding owners, trainers and jockeys, who
\nhave made an indelible mark on thoroughbred
\nracing at Saratoga Race Course.
\nThe new attraction will provide a permanent
\nhome for the plaques and their narratives, where
\nguests can learn about the honorees.
\n“The Saratoga Walk of Fame is our way of
\nacknowledging and recognizing these individuals
\nfor their dedication to the sport with a place to
\npublicly enshrine their accomplishments,” said
\nNYRA CEO and President Chris Kay. “We hope
\nour guests will enjoy Saratoga’s newest attraction
\nwhich is designed to highlight the contributions
\nof our industry’s leading pioneers and achievers
\nfor decades to come.”<\/p>\n

\nowner Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps of Phipps
\nStable. The plaques for each honoree will be
\nunveiled during the Red Jacket ceremony at
\nSaratoga Race Course on Friday, Aug. 28, the
\neve of the 146th running of the $1.25 million
\nTravers Stakes.<\/p>\n

Among track changes this summer, NYRA
\nsaid there will be two enhanced hospitality areas
\navailable daily for paid reservation and offer
\nguests the most affordable reserved seat pricing
\nat the historic sporting venue.<\/p>\n

“The lower Carousel, which has been tired and
\naging, will be reinvigorated and reintroduced to
\ninclude a signature sports bar that will feature
\ndozens of high-definition television sets,” said
\nKay. “Within the popular backyard, we will have
\nthe same number of tables available on a first come,
\nfirst serve basis as last season (850) and
\nwill add more than 100 tables for paid reservation
\nfor the ease and convenience of our guests. We
\nare excited to offer our guests the opportunity to
\nenjoy these two new hospitality areas at Saratoga
\nRace Course.”<\/p>\n

Located within close proximity to the trackside
\napron, the lower Carousel includes five
\ndozen tables available for daily reservation and a
\nnew sports bar which features an extensive craft
\nbeer selection, popular food vendors, and 40 flat screen
\ntelevisions showing both racing and other
\nsporting events. The new hospitality space also provides protection from the elements.<\/p>\n

Saratoga guests will also have the opportunity
\nto reserve a picnic table each day during, an
\nextension of the popular Travers Day program,
\nofficials said. More than 100 picnic tables will
\nbe made available daily for paid reservation
\nadjacent to the paddock.<\/p>\n

“These new areas will make it possible for
\nguests to enjoy a leisurely day at Saratoga with
\nthe guarantee that they have a seat waiting for
\nthem upon arrival, thereby eliminating the need
\nto often arrive at dawn to claim a table,” said
\nNYRA Chief Experience Officer Lynn LaRocca.
\nReserved seating in the new sports bar in the
\nlower Carousel and a premium section of Saratoga’s
\ncoveted backyard picnic tables became

\nAgriculture and Markets.<\/p>\n

Another new attraction is the Tom Durkin
\nReplay Center, located within the Carousel,
\nwhich will allow guests the opportunity to view
\nand hear some of the classic calls by former NYRA
