OK, so, is Clare Court or is Horse Haven now the Oklahoma Training Track at Saratoga?

Question

I am totally confused. When Saratoga had their first race meet in 1863, it was a four day meet at Horse Haven...but is that where the Oklahoma Training Track now stands?

Answer 1

I don't believe the Horse Haven track is still in existance (at least entirely).  On the Oklahoma side of the track is a long dirt walking path for the horses that runs parallel to the training track and Union Ave.  I believe this used to be part of the Horse Haven track, but the rest has been lost to time.

The Claire Court track is behind the main track, near the Nelson Ave. gate.  It is a small jogging track, with several barns in the infield.  The track runs from the Nelson Ave. gate back to the entrance to the Greentree/Stonerside/Godolphin property.
