Today is opening day at Saratoga Race Course. This year, the track season has opened a week earlier and the organization itself is under new leadership, after the resignation of former CEO Chris Kay in January.  

WAMC's Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard caught up this morning with the new President and CEO of the New York Racing Association, David O'Rourke, who discussed his work with the organization over the years.
