    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The tracks I really miss are the ones in New England that were such a huge part of my life while I majored in Suffolk Downs and minored in economics while a student at Tufts University. There was a time when there were tracks in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Maine. They are all gone, leaving an entire region of the country that once embraced racing without a single track ... my favorite track, maybe of all time, was Suffolk Downs. I had an affinity for a hardscrabble, blue-collar, unpretentious track nestled between oil tanks where much of the racing was conducted during the harsh New England winter. For those who prefer Saratoga, Del Mar, Santa Anita, I don't expect you to understand."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The phrase 'larger than life' doesn't do justice to describing Jim Hannon, the Runyonesque race caller known for his booming bass voice, charismatic showmanship, and roaring, motorboat-like laugh that resonated through the press boxes of New England racetracks since 1953. He died on Aug. 28 from natural causes at a hospice facility in Danvers, Massachusetts, after having recently suffered a fall. At age 92, he was believed to have been the nation's oldest retired Thoroughbred announcer."]]></description>

    <link>http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/oped-why-racing-in-new-england-matters/</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["When the story broke earlier this week that the Stronach Group was looking into operating a short meet in 2018 at the former Greyhound track in Raynham, Massachusetts, the news should have been cheered beyond the Bay State. Not only does New England have a rich racing history, it represents a large segment of the country. The sport can’t afford to disappear altogether in New England or, for that matter, any major market where it is legal. If there’s never again going to be any live racing in New England, horse racing can forget about ever again cultivating fans from a region that includes roughly 14.4 million people."]]></description>

I coasted to an easy victory, never uncocking my whip, while my peers in the back argued over who was going to be second.

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[From 2014: "In some ways, the horse racing business lags behind the nation on the fair employment front – it will never be a hotbed of social change. There is exactly one female jockey — Julie Krone — in the Hall of Fame. But change has been steady over the last few decades and Suffolk Downs was one of the reasons. Which is encouraging to the larger feminist cause; if racing can do it, other sports should be able to follow – even golf, even the NFL."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[1. “The only purpose of keeping the place open was to keep racing alive while the horsemen explored the concept of an equestrian center,” said Lou Raffetto, the former vice president of racing at Suffolk and now a consultant to the New England HBPA and the manager of the meet when Suffolk races. “We don’t believe right now that the right thing to do was to run a full meet. I sat down as a conduit with horsemen and management and advised them that racing had to stay visible and viable to show people that if done properly it can be fun and exciting.”

2. Raffetto believes there will be ample opportunities for local horsemen to run if his group and backers can get the equestrian center to become a reality. He sees it existing in the western part of the state and including not just a racetrack, but sections for dressage, hunter jumpers, 4-H clubs and even horse retirement. But it won’t be cheap. He says building the racetrack will cost $60 million and the entire facility will cost about $150 million. Raffetto sees the equestrian center track racing about 75 days a year with purses averaging $200,000 a day.”]]></description>

He was forever phoning the Suffolk press box with good-natured demands for publicity and press coverage, and Figueroa liked to regale anyone who would listen with outlandish, difficult-to-document claims, like the time he allegedly singled all the winners in the very first Pick Six in the country when Rockingham offered the bet in the 1960s."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Michael Blowen remembers: "We have a horse here at Old Friends named Summer Atttraction, who I think just turned 23, that I owned. Carlos ran him as a 2-year-old in a two-furlong maiden race at Suffolk Downs in a four-horse field in 1997 on a big day. One of the other horses was owned by Jim Moseley (Suffolk's late track owner and a prominent owner and breeder) and that horse cost over $200,000. Summer Attraction, whom I paid $5,000 for, won. So Carlos decided to next run him at Saratoga in the Sanford (G3). The race came up so tough that Favorite Trick (eventual 2-year-old champion and 1997 Horse of the Year) scratched out of it. In the paddock, the reporters all wanted to talk to Carlos even though Nick Zito, Wayne Lukas, and the other big-time trainers were there with their horses. Carlos told them, 'If my horse wins, they're going to rename the race Sanford & Son.' My horse ran two furlongs and stopped cold. That story sums up The King."]]></description>

No one would ever have suspected these churchgoing, middle-aged women of illicit activity — which is precisely why they were hired. Rock, like most tracks during that era, made a big show of claiming to want no part of any illegal 'comeback money' that might find its way through their mutuel machines. But, of course, management privately realized that the bookies’ tainted twenties were the same color as the rest of the bills that flooded the pools, and lady bet-runners from all corners of the region knew to proceed directly to a specific window where expedited service had been pre-arranged between influential parties."]]></description>

You could still attempt to access them by exploring long-abandoned areas of the property, although memory lane appeared as if it had been blind-sided by an apocalypse. The main one-mile oval itself was in remarkably good shape, with the compacted stone dust base of the harness track admirably fighting off the out-of-control vegetation attempting to take over from underneath the outer fence and sagging Fontana safety rail. Most of the homestretch was used as a staging area for the track’s aged fleet of vehicles, tractors, and maintenance equipment, including an equine ambulance that occupied a prime spot where the finish wire used to be. The once-lush turf course, installed in 1986 and formerly maintained like a finely manicured billiards table, was unrecognizable as a racing surface. It was so parched and dry in some locations that even weeds seemed reluctant to take root. A number of onlookers ventured out to pose for selfies in front of the decrepit tote board. The structure that was once a beacon of officialdom for countless races now seemed like a spooky, surreal shell ..."]]></description>

'That track was where I cut my teeth as far as riding goes,' she said. 'I learned so much about riding there from people like Phil Ernst and Bennie Carrasco and some of those really good, old riders like Carl Gambardella and Rudy Baez, who for whatever reason ended up at Rockingham. I rode with some world class riders.' Speaking of the greats, old black-and-white photos of Eddie Arcaro, Johnny Longdon, and Bill Shoemaker still adorn the walls of Rockingham’s clubhouse from their time here. Pat Day hung his tack in the jocks’ room when he was a bug, and Chris McCarron to this day is revered as the local kid who made good. Trainer Shug McGaughey won his first race at Rockingham and fellow Hall of Famer Bobby Frankel captured the one and only $500,000 New England Classic with Marquetry in 1991 as part of the nationally televised American Championship Racing Series."]]></description>
