Coming from DC your best bet would be to get a motel in Albany, NY, which is roughly 40 minutes away from the Saratoga race track. I would probably plan on your trip from DC to Albany taking roughly 6.5 or 7 hours.

Gates for the morning workouts open at 6:45 but dont feel you need to get there at exactly that time. It is seldom crowded for the workouts and you have until 9am to catch the workouts. You can sit anywhere, everything is free, except of course the breakfast, which you dont want anyways. Your much better off stopping somewhere and grabbing coffee and a bagel or a muffin. Your welcomed to bring anything in you want at that time.

Parking isnt a problem, there are NYRA parking lots all over and private yards off of Nelson and the surrounding streets that people usually charge between $5 and $10 for, depending on how close you want to be.
