The Future of Golden Gate Fields

Golden Gate Fields has its place in racing history. For 70 years, the track by the bay has stood strong in the annals of racing. William Shoemaker won his first ever race here. Noor and Citation battled down its stretch. Steve Cauthen and Robyn Smith are two renown jockeys that have rode at Golden G...Read More

Capper · Great article! Are they already looking for other sites in the SF area if GGF is sold? If so, do you think there will be any gaps in the racing schedule up there or will the county fairs fill in the gap? · 180 days ago ·

bay_area_backstretch · Thanks. If this happens they are talking about the lab being there in 2016. We arent sure when racing would stop at GGF but that gives plenty of time to make other plans. Talks about using Pleasanton and Santa Rosa as sites for full meets have been discussed but work would have to be done at both places prior to that. · 180 days ago ·

RyanBrady · I would love to visit this beautiful track sometime. It seems so big, and kind to the horsemen and fans. Don't know if it's suitable for a Breeders Cup, but it would be a great venue and are to have it at. · 179 days ago ·

buckpasser · I am always sad when a racetrack, any racetrack goes down. Some people on this site hate Hollywood Park. But it will be developed. Like Golden Gate it has a long history. Look at Narragansett, gone and so is racing in Rhode Island. Bay Meadows is gone, soon Hollywood Park and now possibly Golden Gate. Personally, I don't believe Stronach is going to pursue another track in the bay area, look at what he is doing in Maryland. Get rid of Laurel and only race 41 days at Pimlico. Prior to that it was he would a new track and get rid of Pimlico too. Anyone who relies on Stronach's word is crazy. · 179 days ago ·

bay_area_backstretch · I think they will try and keep racing in Nor Cal Buck, there are too many horseman here to chase them all away. Ryan you are right it is a beautiful track but nowhere near star venue. · 178 days ago ·

travel_vic · Northern Cal circuit used to be a lot of fun with GGF in the Spring, the fairs all summer and Bay Meadows in the Fall Before the Winter Hollywood meet, many of the big ones like Pincay, wuld come up to Bay Medows to ride or two or three weeks Bay Meadows had standarbreds and quarter horses as well as the thoroughbreds...A grand old facility I will miss · 178 days ago ·

SteveMcGovern · Great article Don. Like the Q and A with new GM Joe Morris and he seems positive for the outcome of racing in northern California. I couldn't imagine the current site of GGF being taken over by some lab. I and I know you have had some great memories there growing up especially those early days going with dad as a young kid. Would be odd looking looking towards to the bay driving on I-80 and not seeing the track. Interested in the outcome of this one and the future of the historical track called Golden Gate Fields. Look forward to your future articles tracking this. · 174 days ago ·

Check the weight differential between Noor and Citation. Also, Citation's loss at two was to his stablemate Bewitch where he was not asked to beat her.

icyhotboo · After his 3yo old season the great Citation ran his next 19 races LAME as his owner wanted to have the first million $ horse.As a 2 and 3yo his record was 29-2-0 this is from memory so I might be a little off on the # of races but not on the fact he ran him lame for 2 years.Nice guy huh? · 358 days ago ·

The Big 'Cap - Then and Now

I love Big 'Cap day. It fills me with a strong sense of history. Today’s running will be the 73rd Big ‘Cap, and once again it has put me into a reflective mood. There are not many races with a richer and more storied past than the Santa Anita Handicap. The story of the early years were dominated by ...Read More

Citation wins 1948 Triple Crown

The year was 1948, and there was a hint of dread in Eddie Arcaro's mind; nagging doubt, stirred by the memory of Devil Diver six years before. Read More
