Rivers Casino Schenectady Named the Official Casino Partner of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival
Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady is making waves in the world of horse racing with its recent strategic partnership forged with the New York Racing Association (NYRA).
This alliance marks a significant milestone, designating Rivers Casino as the casino partner for two high-profile horse racing events: the Saratoga Race Course and the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival.
Rivers Casino will be the presenting sponsor for the $750,000 GI New York S. during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, elevating the casino’s visibility within the racing community.
NYRA’s decision to enhance the stakes of The New York race, backed by Rivers Casino, further emphasizes the synergy between the two entities. With an impressive increase of $150,000 in the purse, The New York promises an enticing proposition for both competitors and spectators, adding to the allure of the race day festivities.
Scheduled for June 7, The New York, presented by Rivers Casino, assumes a prominent role as the highlight of day two at the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival. Anticipation runs high for this exhilarating showcase of talent and competition, promising an unforgettable experience.
The partnership extends beyond the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, as the casino takes center stage as the presenting sponsor of The Backyard at Saratoga Race Course. This initiative offers patrons a glimpse into the diverse gaming and entertainment offerings available at the Schenectady-based resort, conveniently located just a stone’s throw away from Saratoga.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the collaboration, Joe Lodise, General Manager at Rivers Casino & Resort, commented on the partnership’s significance in honoring the track’s legacy and the Belmont Stakes. “We’re incredibly honored to be an official casino partner with NYRA for the Belmont S. and the Saratoga Race Course summer meet,” said Lodise. “This partnership celebrates the rich heritage of the track and the Belmont S., and fits perfectly with our commitment to provide the very best in gaming and entertainment. We’re beyond thrilled to have Rivers Casino showcased throughout the iconic grounds and look forward to all the exciting racing.”
Furthermore, Rivers Casino will extend support to Military Appreciation Day at Saratoga Race Course. This gesture will help to honor and recognize the contributions of servicemen and women while adding an extra layer of excitement and engagement to the racing experience with a premium giveaway item during the 2024 summer meet.
Tyler Lippard, NYRA Director of Corporate Partnerships, extended gratitude towards Rivers Casino & Resort for its steadfast support of New York horse racing. Lippard acknowledged the pivotal role played by the Capital Region partner in amplifying Saratoga Race Course’s reach and impact, setting the stage for a mutually beneficial partnership poised for success.
