As one of America's oldest sports, Thoroughbred racing has a long and rich history. To tell the story of the sport, the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame relies on a renowned equine art collection, stunning trophies, beautiful silks and Thoroughbred racing memorabilia. The National Museum of Racing was incorporated in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1950. In 1955 the Museum moved to its present site on Union Avenue, and the Hall of Fame was created to recognize and honor deserving ho rses, jockeys, and trainers.
