One of the top tourist destinations of Upstate New York, Saratoga Springs was named for the fresh mineral springs in the area. While originally known for its scenic beauty, the town has become more famous for the horse race course that opened in 1863. The races are so popular that local residents can rent out their houses for the race season and make enough money to cover the mortgage for the rest of the year. This 4 1/4” solid smooth red oak has a classic brown color that fit right in with the rustic luxury of summer days at the track.
