🍁There is something beautiful about sharing God’s love with our racing community. ❤️ Throughout the Capital Region, at breeding farms and on the backstretch, our team and volunteers continue to show up, build relationships, and embrace the people who make this community so special. Every visit, every conversation, and every act of kindness is an opportunity to remind someone that they are seen, valued, and loved by God. We are grateful for our volunteers and for the privilege of serving alongside them. 🙏🐎 #NYRTCA #SharingGodsLove #BackstretchCommunity #CapitalRegion #FaithInAction

🍁Investing in the next generation, one experience at a time!🍂 This past weekend, our Youth Mentoring Program visited a local farm a chance to step outdoors, explore, and learn together. We’re grateful for opportunities to spend meaningful time with our young people, nurture their curiosity, and help them discover the beauty of God’s creation. #YouthMentoring #NextGeneration #OutdoorLearning #GrowingTogether #MakingADifference

🎀 Together in pink, united in care! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our Ladies Enrichment gathering offered a meaningful opportunity to encourage one another and emphasize the importance of breast health awareness, early detection, and caring for ourselves.💕 We are especially grateful to the breast cancer survivors who encouraged our ladies through their stories of courage, perseverance, and hope. Your voices remind us how much strength we can find in one another. Our heartfelt thanks to our staff, volunteers, and partners whose dedication and generosity make these moments possible. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #LadiesEnrichment #NYRTCA #TogetherInPink @KarenChavezNY

🐎 This past week, our team, board members, partners, and volunteers have been serving in Saratoga and at Belmont Park, sharing God’s love with the men, women, and families of the backstretch community. Through encouragement, practical support, and ministry, the New York Race Track Chaplaincy reminds our men and women of our community that they are seen, valued, and loved. Your generosity makes this possible. Thank you for helping us serve with compassion and excellence! #NYChaplaincy #BackstretchCommunity #BelmontPark #Saratoga #HorseRacingCommunity #FaithInAction #ServingWithLove #GiveBack

🍽️ Great food, big laughs, and a whole lot of heart! 💛 There’s nothing quite like showing up for our Saratoga backstretch families 🎪 and doing it alongside our amazing friends from @brownroadracing and Aguas Vivas Church made it extra special. This is what community is all about. Good times, great people, and endless gratitude! 🐎✨ #NYRaceTrackChaplaincy #Saratoga #BackstretchCommunity #BrownRoadRacingFamily #AguasVivasMinisteriosElim #Community #GivingBack #RacingFamily

💜 The ladies in our backstretch community tonight had a blast making bead bracelets, sharing stories, and enjoying time together. A heartfelt thank you to our Saratoga Women’s Initiative, our staff and our incredible volunteers for making tonight so special✨, and to Tracy P and Michaels Stores in Saratoga Springs for your generous support. We’re grateful for every woman who makes this community what it is! 🙏 #SaratogaNY #WomenInRacing #BackstretchCommunity #CommunityLove @brownroadracing

Across the nation 🇺🇸 racetrack chaplaincies are walking and praying together, carrying forward the legacy of our founder, Salty Roberts.🏇 In Saratoga 🎪 we joined with prayer warriors from Living Water Church of God in Wilton and Full Foundation Church in Glens Falls. Together, we prayed for everyone who serves throughout the racing community and asked God to bring healing, restoration, and salvation. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face…then I will hear from heaven.” —2 Chronicles 7:14 May we continue to seek God, stand in the gap, and faithfully cover our racing community in prayer. 🙏🏽 #NYRaceTrackChaplaincy #PrayerWalk #SaltyRobertsLegacy #PowerOfPrayer #RacingCommunity

🇺🇸 What an incredible day celebrating the grand opening of Belmont Park 🌳 From the ribbon cutting with Governor Kathy Hochul, to the inspiring words from Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages and NYRA Board Chairman Marc Holliday, today marked a special new chapter in New York racing 🏇 But what made today truly special were the people behind it all from the crews mucking stalls and caring for the horses, to the horse handlers, backstretch workers, jockeys, track personnel, and everyone serving throughout the grounds. Every person played a part in making this historic opening day possible. Such a beautiful facility, an incredible celebration, and most importantly, an amazing community of people who make racing happen every day. What a great opening day at Belmont Park! 🤩

Coming Soon…🙏🏻

Join us as we pray for for @flothejock recovery 🙏🏻

Remembering after 25 years 🙏🏻

🏇 That’s a wrap on another Saratoga season! We’re grateful for our incredible partners, volunteers, and everyone who made this summer so special for our backstretch community. Thank you, Saratoga. ❤️ Until next year! 🙏🏽🏇 #NYRaceTrackChaplaincy #Saratoga #SaratogaRacing #UntilNextYear

This is it…the final weekend of live racing 🏇 in Saratoga🎪. After weeks of early mornings, long days, wins, losses, hard work, and memories made together, another Saratoga season is coming to an end. Soon the barns will begin to quiet down, stalls will empty, trailers will load, and many of us will head toward our next destination. And that’s a lot like life, some seasons are meant to be lived, appreciated, and then left behind. We may not know exactly what waits for us next, but Scripture reminds us that God goes before us. Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you.” The God who carried you through Saratoga will be with you wherever the road takes you next. Saratoga may be ending, but God isn’t finished. He’s already waiting for you at your next destination. Traveling Mercies 🚛 #nyracing #merciesneweverymorning #merciesofgod
