Golden Gate Fields, located in both Berkeley and Albany in Northern California, will close its horse racing operation by the end of the year. The track has been in operation since 1941.
But those who eat, sleep, and live horse racing believe that this closure happened for another reason. Here's Howard Kravets of the HHH Racing Podcast.
The group that owns Golden Gate Fields didn't give a reason behind the closure but said, "The Stronach Group today announced it will double down on its prestigious racing and training venues at Santa Anita Park and San Luis Rey Downs by closing Golden Gate Fields at the end of the 2023 racing meet.
It's unclear what will happen to the stables and horse handlers that live in the buildings at Golden Gate Fields. It is unknown if all of them will be able to transfer to Southern California.
