Pity that the MA Cap hasn't continued since then. Some truly great horses ran there back in the day. |
It's absolute shame. The politicians out here don't give a crap about the track or horse racing. What's even more of a shame is that if there was some investment into the place I think Suffolk Downs would thrive. It is an untapped market out here. Just look at the number of people from the greater Boston area that head to Saratoga every summer. It's amazing.
