Learn About the Bugle 'Call to the Post' at Saratoga Race Course

The bugle "Call to the Post" is a popular tradition at Saratoga Race Course and other horse racing tracks.

This bugle call is played to signal that horses should be at the paddock exit and ready to proceed to the track for the next race.

Previously, the bugle "Call to the Post" was played by Sam Grossman, who was recognized as NYRA's Official Bugler for over 20 years.

Local father-son duo Tony and Carson Gambaro took over in 2023, and are reprising their roles again for the 2024 summer meet!
