First post is at 1.

I love to walk, but I probably wouldn't walk from the train station personally. Until you get into the Broadway/Downtown area the roads have a bit of a limited sidewalk area.

Also, since you mentioned wearing a hat to the Belmont, the annual hat contest is on Sunday .

Do they have a train from Albany to Toga?

Gen -
It looks like there is some bus service from the train station to downtown/broadway area:

Jamie,

Amtrak does have a train from Albany to Saratoga Springs- it's Albany-Resselaer, which is some miles (10 or so?) from the airport (I think) but it's do-able. Train fare is $17.00 one-way.

Go to the amtrak.com and enter in the stations and the date you arrive and they'll show the schedules and fares.

Yeah, I checked that out...

Problem is that I come in at 8:55pm on Wednesday night and nothing leaves that late (except the Greyhound bus at 9:05.) Greyhound has no return bus from Toga on July 29th, though. I guess I should have figured all of this out a bit earlier.

I may just rent a car... might be less of a hassle.

You could do the train at least from Saratoga back to Albany- that might save you a rental day. One-way rentals aren't usually any more than round trip, in my experience.
