Adjacent to the Saratoga Race Course is the somewhat secretive private club. It was founded in the 1930s as a place for men to read the dailies before the races. There are rooms for members to stay in over night during the race meet - F. Ambrose Clark was a member and would stay here on occasion as opposed to driving all the way back to Cooperstown, NY.
"Saratoga Reading Room, a private club for racehorse owners, trainers and breeders. Members include “the who’s who" of Saratoga racing. If you want to become a member of the Reading Room, an outstanding member, the best way is to buy yourself a great horse."
