In Saratoga Springs, New York, this nonprofit institution preserves the history and achievements of American Thoroughbred racing through both a museum and a Hall of Fame. Founded in 1950 and opened in 1951 at Saratoga’s Canfield Casino, it moved to its present Union Avenue site in 1955, when the Hall of Fame was also established. Its collections and galleries trace the sport from colonial beginnings through the Civil War era and later developments such as the Triple Crown, breeding, jockeys, and race-day culture. With extensive art, artifacts, and memorabilia, it honors horses, jockeys, trainers, and other national leaders who shaped the sport.
