We are heartbroken by the news of yesterday's fire in Saratoga and the devastating loss of 17 horses. In harness racing, horses are more than athletes – they're family. We grieve alongside each and every person who loved and cared for the horses that were lost in this tragedy.

Shoutout to our grooms and caretakers who give our horses the care, attention, and love they deserve! Early mornings, late nights, and everything in between, their commitment is the foundation of our sport.
