When the last horse crosses the finish line this weekend at Golden Gate Fields, a new era and new opportunities will begin.
Anser HassanBerkeley and Albany are considering what's next for Golden Gate Fields after its permanent closure this weekend.
"I think that we can all agree that a composting facility is not the highest or best use of that very, very valuable real estate," Arreguin said. "Now it is 2024. We are going to take a fresh look. We are going to think big and be bold about what the vision is. And I am very excited." Albany's Mayor John Miki was not available for an interview. But whatever the cities decide, there are huge obstacles ahead.
The cities also don't own the land, although they do have regulatory approval over it. The property owners, Stronach Group, did not return request for comment.Trainer, fans reflect on final horse racing season at Golden Gate Fields
