On a good day at Suffolk Downs you can get a beautiful ocean breeze (the Atlantic is about 1/2 mile east - or 4 furlongs if you prefer)

If you aren't far it is definitely worth the trip. And if you are far the MassCap is worth the ride.

When the MassCap was tentatively moved to the fall last year and then ultimately cancelled, it was thougth that it might be used as a prep race for the Breeder's Cup races. Maybe that is the thought here. The last MassCap with Funny Cide and Offlee Wild was great to watch. A good turn out without being completely mobbed.

I hope to see lots of DTers there.

I will certainly be there. I live about 40 minutes south, but on days when the cool breeze kicks off the Atlantic, there is really no better hang out to stay cool. The racing is low level, without question, but like Suffolk Girl says, it's my home track, so I enjoy it and it is not as bad as people make it out to be.
