Horseracing is important because it is the oldest sport in the country. Saratoga has the premier track in the country. It makes the most money. In 1863, John Morrissey who owned a bunch of casinos in town wanted something for his people to do in the daytime. He thought maybe they might like to have they might like to do horseracing. On august 2, he had a fourday meet and it was held at what is called the old trotting track, built in 1849. One of the problems was the track was not a good facility at all.
