The New England horseman have brought on former Suffolk COO Lou Raffetto to be their point person on working with the owners to lease the track and run in 2015. Raffetto revived the track in the early 1990's after it had shut down and then was running the MD tracks.

He predates my knowledge of the game to any extent. Not sure if this is a good, bad or indifferent thing for Suffolk Downs.
