With the rise in COVID-19 cases continuing in Saratoga County and around the region, there's a new mask policy in place for vendors and employees at Saratoga Race Course.
The New York Racing Association says it's now mandatory for all of them to wear a facial covering. Previously, only NYRA employees who worked indoors or had direct contact with the public were required to have a mask on. The new guideline comes just days before this coming Saturday's Travers Stakes which is the biggest race of the 40-day meet at "The Spa."
