Second this. I went up for the first time last year, driving up from Queens (outer borough of NYC). I left before dawn, maybe 5:00/5:30 or so and got up there around 8:00/8:30. Went out for a lovely breakfast at Beverly's, found a parking spot on the street close to the track and went to the Horse Racing Museum. Made my way to the track around 11:30 and hung out there for the entire card. Walked around town and went for dinner afterwards but by that time I have to tell you I was exhausted.
I had a room booked at the MicroTel Inn in Latham, about 24 miles/30 minutes South of Saratoga (the room prices in Saratoga were out of my budget) and I barely made it there before I collapsed from exhaustion. It was a long day, but an awesome day. My only regret was not having more time up in Saratoga itself.
Stay for more than one day, if you can.
