Residents who live and work in Saratoga Springs can meet Eclipse Award-winning jockeys Irad Ortiz, Jr. and Jose Ortiz during the grand reopening celebration of the newly remodeled Dunkin’ at 80 West Avenue.
The pair of acclaimed jockeys will visit with horse racing fans at the Saratoga Springs-based Dunkin’ on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. The meet-and-greet will include photo and autograph opportunities and each guest will receive a commemorative photo magnet, courtesy of Dunkin’, while supplies last.
Irad Ortiz, Jr. currently sits atop the jockey standings at Saratoga as he looks to defend his title while his brother, Jose, has finished in the money more than 60 times and is among the meet’s top five leading riders. Each has been awarded the industry’s annual Eclipse Award for outstanding jockey.
“As franchisee of the Dunkin’ at Saratoga Race Course, I am honored to have Jose and Irad, Jr. join us for our grand reopening celebration at our Saratoga Springs-based Dunkin’ on West Avenue,” said Tom Burke III of The Burke Companies. “Not only are the Ortiz brothers among the most accomplished jockeys in the sport but they are very generous to carve out time to spend with their fans and our guests during the busy Saratoga season. We look forward to hosting them at Dunkin’.”
Dunkin’ Rewards members can also spin a Dunkin’ prize wheel for complimentary merchandise between 10 a.m. and noon, while supplies last. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting to celebrate the grand reopening will take place at 11 a.m.
The Saratoga Springs West Avenue Dunkin’ is open daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. It features the brand’s new restaurant design with innovative technologies and exciting elements, including:
