The Trifecta Tour: Bridles and Bootleggers
Saratoga Springs in the 1920s was a city that refused to go dry. While Prohibition gripped the rest of the nation, in Saratoga, the situation was quite different. The lake houses glittered with illegal liquor, high-stakes gambling, and backroom deals. Underground casinos thrived, scandals shook the racing world, and city officials conspired to keep the money rolling. It was an era built on risk, corruption, and the understanding that in Saratoga, the rules did not apply.
