Special event to shine spotlight on women’s role in thoroughbred racing while raising funds for breast cancer research
The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will celebrate women and their contributions to the thoroughbred industry with a special day appropriately titled “Fabulous Fillies Day” on Friday, August 19 at Saratoga Race Course.
The day will feature a number of special events and activities designed to honor women of the thoroughbred industry while raising funds to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
The first 25,000 fans through the admission gates will each receive a pink wristband, courtesy of BCRF. Saratoga Race Course will also feature a pink NYRA flag in flight overhead.

We invite ladies to join us for a stylish and fun day at the track on Fabulous Fillies Day,” said NYRA Director of Community Relations Joanne K. Adams. “We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of several extraordinary women while raising awareness and funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.”
