Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Todd Shimkus and NYRA President/CEO David O’Rourke

The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce held an informative breakfast chat with NYRA President/CEO David O’Rourke Wednesday morning at UPH—and as these things go, the discussion was long and winding. So we gleaned the good stuff to compile some answers to your burning questions.

On the docket?

  • Will the Belmont Park renovations be done on time, or might Saratoga eke out a third year as host?

  • Will there be a dreaded asterisk on Saratoga’s races due to the change in length?

  • Just how worried should we be about the hefty short-term rental fees that are (or maybe they aren’t anymore?!) on the table?

  • How healthy is the sport’s long-term economy?

  • What’s being done for the safety of the beloved Thoroughbreds?

And more!


Let’s go!
