Due to the relocation of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival to the Saratoga Race Course during the same week, management has decided not to proceed with the Saratoga Pre-Show competition, normally held June 6-9, 2024. Saratoga Horse Shows will offer stabling at a 50% discount for the week of June 5-9; ticketed hunter and jumper schooling from June 6-9; and tickets to the 156th running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 8, on a first-come, first-served basis for those stabled at White Hollow Farm.
