An Extraordinary Day at The Races — A Saratoga Experience Like No Other

A rare opportunity

Step into the storied world of Saratoga Race Course during the height of the summer 2026 meet and experience the Sport of Kings from an insider’s perspective. This extraordinary package offers you and up to three guests an exclusive, behind-the-scenes day with Vivien Malloy of Edition Farm, celebrated Thoroughbred Breeder of the Year and longtime supporter of Lewisboro Land Trust.

Your unforgettable day begins at sunrise on the backstretch, where the real magic of racing happens. Watch the morning workouts, meet Vivian’s horses and trainers, and hear firsthand what it takes to raise and condition championship thoroughbreds.

Then, as the gates open for the day’s races, your experience shifts from the barns to the owners-only paddock, where you’ll stand among the elite of the sport as the horses are saddled and the jockeys receive final instructions. You’ll feel the energy, precision, and anticipation that define this historic track.

Following the paddock visit, enjoy a leisurely lunch with Vivien in her private owner’s box, offering one of the best views at Saratoga. Spend the afternoon immersed in the color, pageantry, and thrill of live racing — all in the company of someone who lives and breathes the sport at its highest level.

This is more than just a day at the races — it’s an intimate look into a world rarely seen by the public, and a memory you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

About Lewisboro Land Trust:

Since our founding in 1994, Lewisboro Land Trust has been dedicated to preserving the natural beauty and open spaces of Lewisboro. In 2024, we proudly celebrated our 30th anniversary—marking three decades of unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, land conservation, and community education.

Over the years, we have facilitated and supported numerous conservation projects that have resulted in the permanent protection of more than 1,200 acres of land. Our work extends beyond preservation to include community engagement and education—from hosting hamlet forums, town board presentations, and educational workshops to leading initiatives that connect preserved parcels through a town-wide trail system. Lewisboro Land Trust also played a pivotal role in championing the successful referendum that established the Lewisboro Land Bank, ensuring the long-term protection of our region’s natural resources.

Today, our mission centers on 'linking people with the land.' We offer a wide range of programs designed to deepen public connection with nature, including naturalist-led walks and hikes, family and children’s programs, lectures on biodiversity, high school internships, and projects that promote native plant landscapes and new trail creation. Our acclaimed Access Nature Program brings the joy and benefits of the outdoors to individuals with disabilities and those facing disadvantages, ensuring that nature’s restorative power is accessible to all.

Lewisboro Land Trust is an independent land trust with full 501(c)(3) status. EIN 46-4891866.
