On June 7th, 1999, Sports Illustrated (SI) published an article titled “SI's Top 20 Venues of the 20th Century." In the article, SI placed The Saratoga Race Course at 10th place, joining other hallowed sporting shrines including Augusta National, Wrigley Field, and Wembley Stadium. In a sport that includes legendary race tracks like Churchill Downs and Belmont Park, the Saratoga Race Course stands alone in the sport of horseracing. Sports Illustrated recognized the Saratoga Race Course as a “bucket list” stop for sports fans across the globe.
