Saratoga: They’re off!
At 1h57, on July 13, 2022 • By NEWSROOM
Opening Day at Saratoga Racecourse on Thursday kicks off the season with the Grade 3, $175,000 Schuylerville for 2-year-old fillies and the inaugural running of the one-mile, $135,000 Wilson for sophomore fillies to be contested out of the reconstructed Wilson Chute. The Wilson Chute, last in use in 1972, was named to honor the contributions of the late Richard T. Wilson, a banker and President of the Saratoga Racing Association for most of the first quarter of the 20th century. The reconstructed Wilson Chute will carefully follow the route of the original chute along the Clubhouse Turn just to the west of the 1863 Club and marks the return of one-mile races on the Saratoga main track.
