An interactive exhibit, Ready to Ride!, will open to the public June 30 at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, the museum announced Wednesday. Ready to Ride! is an electronic racehorse simulation designed to perfect the art of Thoroughbred race riding. The simulator is used by professional jockeys and training schools throughout the world.
Made possible through funding by Charlotte C. Weber and The Live Oak Foundation, Ready to Ride! features software that allows the rider to race against other simulated horses in a digital rendering of Saratoga Race Course on a high-definition screen. The cost is $10 per ride.
The exhibit space was created through a grant from the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust.
