 As the route comes close to downtown Saratoga Springs , it meets NY 9P at exit 14 . The junction is adjacent to the regionally popular Saratoga Race Course and thus receives heavy traffic during the racing season . A southbound @-@ only entrance ramp exists off Nelson Avenue Extension about 1 mile ( 1 @.@ 6 km ) south of exit 14 , designed to handle traffic exiting the track at Saratoga Race Course and the Saratoga Casino and Raceway . The highway continues around the eastern edge of Saratoga Springs to exit 15 , where the relatively undeveloped areas east of I @-@ 87 are briefly replaced by Wilton 's commercial district along NY 50 . As I @-@ 87 continues northeast through Wilton , it heads across significantly less developed areas , with open fields becoming the most common feature along the road . It continues into Moreau , connecting to US 9 and serving Moreau Lake State Park by way of exit 17 , a cloverleaf interchange , before crossing the Hudson River and entering Warren County .
