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.

I've taken the train to Saratoga and I've rented a car from NYC- I'd recommend renting a car. It's a nice train trip except that we were an hour late because there was rocks or something like that on the track (I don't remember why the delay). There is a bus that takes you from the station to the track and back again, and I think general admission is included in the cost (it was when I went). But the car gives you more freedom in departure time and I think is a shorter trip.
The train is a lot cheaper, because car rentals are ridonkulously expensive in the city- if you have a AAA membership, rent a car via their website; it's a bit cheaper that way (unless you've got a great corporate rate through your job or something).

Get engaged after taking down a monster Pick-4 in the middle of a (standard) afternoon thunderstorm. It will lead to a happy marriage.
Second on breakfast and the backstretch, that too was fun.

I'd go get donuts and coffee, go to and park at the Oklahoma track, for w/o's, in lieu of eating at the track's buffet.
