Saratoga Casino Hotel is on the verge of a new phase of its operation, as June 18 is about to see the return of live harness racing on the premises of the racetrack. The racing hotspot is about to welcome live races once again, but fans would not be allowed on the premises of the racetrack for the time being.
New York State is slowly reopening its businesses for their next phase of operation, following more than 12 weeks of closure. The impact this has had on the state economy is yet to be evaluated, but for the time being, a gradual reopening will have to take place. Saratoga Casino Hotel is preparing for June 18.
June 18 Brings Live Racing
Live harness racing is about to commence in the upcoming weeks but at least over the first couple of months, New York State racing fans would not be able to attend the live races in person. However, it should be pointed out that they still have the chance to place bets on the action taking place on their screens. Saratoga Casino Hotel reminds that players will get the chance to wager via the online betting platform.
The gaming hotspot features its very own platform – saratogabets.com, and horse racing enthusiast could place a bet in the comfort of their home. This is going to support the local horse people while also enhancing the viewing experience racing fans have. Over the past couple of months, the New York State Gaming Commission worked on a set of new policies and safety procedures to be introduced across the state.
Saratoga Casino Hotel also worked on the subject and it is now ready to launch live harness racing for the 79th time. This summer will bring the new live racing season which came as good news for the horse people relying on the purses coming with the live races. John Matarazzo, Director of Racing Operations at Saratoga Casino Hotel, expressed his contentment.

Mr. Matarazzo pointed out that the 79th season is about to be a special one but nevertheless, horse people are happy to see it launch very soon. The past couple of months have been rather tough on them, as well as on the horse racing industry as the live racing dates were postponed indefinitely. Saratoga Casino Hotel worked in collaboration with the Department of Health.
As for the live schedule, it should be noted that there will be harness races on Thursdays and Sundays from here on out. Post time is set to 12 p.m. and all enthusiasts are expected to follow closely everything happening on the track. They will be able to wager on the official platform or via any legal online wagering platform in New York State.
The months of June and July will be special, as there will be a five-percent bonus on all winning bets. SaratogaBets also brings the lucrative five-percent daily and weekly player reward payouts further enhancing the appeal of online wagering on horse racing. Projections are that many individuals will place a bet, as casino gaming is still prohibited.
