Default Workouts

I live less than 5 minutes from the track(Saratoga) and have never been to see the horses work out. I want to go over Saturday morning and have a few questions that maybe someone can help me out with.....thanks

1. Are they open to the public?
2. What time do they usually start?

The Oklahoma is not open to the public at this time. I don't believe the main track opens for training until at least a week or two from now.

Oklahoma is not open to the public.
The main track opens for training July 1
Not sure when the public is allowed in
Training at both facilities starts at 5:30AM

I drive by 2x a day. Getting on and off exit 14 for work. Does not appear to be open to the public. I get pumped up during every drive by though.

While it is not exactly standing by the rail, you can stand outside of the fence on East Ave. to view the works at the Oklahoma training track. It is still a pretty sight as the sun is rising and the fog is lifting. You also get a pretty good view of the gate schooling.
