After 83 years of abusing and killing horses, Golden Gate Fields is
officially no more. Yesterday, as the last races ever were being recorded,
this from the chartwriter on the 8th (and final): “Sareeha…was not
persevered with late when hopelessly beaten, and became the last horse to
cross the finish line to close out eighty four years of racing at Golden
Gate Fields. GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.”
Yes, good night, and good riddance. (Our updated list of
shuttered tracks.)
