Posted on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
After its Wednesday opener, Gulfstream Park will be closed to both live and simulcast racing Thursday and Friday this week. The full racing program will resume Saturday.
Inclement weather of the summer and autumn delayed construction of the new Gulfstream Park and, with Thursday and Friday’s closure, the racetrack has given itself the opportunity to work out the kinks and put the finishing touches on the property in time for Saturday’s program.
"We apologize for any inconvenience that Friday’s closing may cause our horsemen and patrons, but after a rough few months weather-wise we think it best that we take the time to get this beautiful facility at its absolute best for Saturday," said Gulfstream Park president and general manager Scott Savin. "When it’s completed, the new Gulfstream Park will be the finest racing facility in the world. If you’re here on a date-to-day basis, you can see that the completion date is getting nearer and nearer. We guarantee our guests that their patience will be rewarded."
Calder Racecourse, which is offering simulcasts of Gulfstream Park’s race cards, is also conducting simulcasting Thursday and Friday.
