The choice was between spending and investing, and the legislature chose to invest in the future of this industry and our economy," said NEHBPA executive director Paul Umbrello. "The NEHBPA is happy with today's news and thanks its members and sponsors for their continued help and support to return full-time racing to New England."]]></description>

It’s very quaint. It’s very inviting. What we’re trying to do is take little features from some of our most favorite tracks.”]]></description>

The horse breeders, equestrian officials, and consultants at the presentation painted a picture of a bucolic, family-friendly facility patterned after the Kentucky Horse Park ... and the Saratoga Race Course.

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[About 100 horsemen, including members of both groups, were in attendance and listened to the presentation on the progress for the new horse park, which would include a one-mile racing strip and turf course, a retirement farm for 40 Thoroughbreds, Olympic-sized facilities for show horses, family recreation facilities, and other features.

At this time, plans would include 75 live Thoroughbred racing days but the funding mechanisms are not yet in place.

"The reason we called this meeting is that we need everybody working together to make this happen," said NEHBPA President Anthony Spadea, who said this was his fourth attempt to unify the factions. "We're doing everything we can to keep live racing going in Massachusetts. Please give us a shot. If you support it, we have a chance.

"There is nothing else. No one is interested in building a racetrack alone anymore. No one is building a racetrack without a casino these days," he continued.]]></description>

"The study details 'The Massachusetts Model,' unlike any other in the country, for a prototypical multi-use, combination racetrack, featuring a one-mile oval with a seven-furlong turf course. The facility will also include a grandstand, upscale equine center, and on-site Thoroughbred retirement and retraining farm for as many as 40 horses at the outset. A hotel would likely be included."

2. "The study projects that with 75 live racing days held annually from mid-May to mid-October, an average of nine races per day, approximately 800 horses stabled on the new backside, and an average minimum of 3,000 fans in attendance in the new grandstand, the Thoroughbred racing component would have an annual economic output of $66 million."]]></description>

"Utilizing the Race Horse Development Fund, which is meant for purses, should be for a meaningful race meet which would benefit us.
