The track was designed after the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, and features a 1.125 mile dirt track. The track features chutes for seven furlong and one mile (1.6 km) races. A one mile (1.6 km) turf course was installed in 1993. The facility is 210 acres (0.85 km2) and has a 6,000 seat grandstand and 38 barns. It is the only track in the country to contain a one-mile (1.6 km) chute at a 90-degree angle by the first turn. This is because Saratoga Race Course used to have this type of chute to run one-mile (1.6 km) races, called the Wilson Chute.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or attributes:
“With every physical pain, my moral fiber unravels a little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error there may be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
