Suffolk Downs inspects Gt Barrington for 2020 opening

[ne to socal]

My friend is the lead engineer that appeared in that story. We had an email exchange a while ago about it.

I told I personally thought an all-turf course would be a terrific idea, and gosh I wish there was room for a facility like Colonial or even better KD that could possibly attract those kinds of runners for some nice meets, horses that may not be banging heads at SAR.

I just don't get enthused about a casino-subsidized bullring in a remote-ish area trying to draw on a horse population already diminished and spread thin. And I say this as someone who grew up at The Rock, Suffolk, Scarborough, Hinsdale, etc.
