2025 NYRA Bets cards now available at Stewart's Shops

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- With horse racing season approaching, the New York Racing Association and Stewart's Shops have teamed up to make NYRA Bets cards available at more than 175 Stewart's locations around the Capital Region. Each 2025 NYRA Bets Gift Card costs $50.

Consumers can use their NYRA Bets card to fund their NYRA Bets account. They may be used throughout the 2025 Saratoga racing season, as well as for each of the three Triple Crown racing series legs, including the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. The cards will be available at Stewart's shops in Albany, Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady and Warren counties.

The NYRA Bets cards will be available through the end of August. All purchases must be paid in cash, and there are no processing fees.

Earlier in April, Stewart's also began selling $99 three-day passes for the Belmont Stakes. Season passes for the 2025 season at Saratoga Race Course will go on sale the week of June 16.
