Berkeley, Calif. (May 28, 2018) – On Thursday, May 31st, Golden Gate Fields will host a seven race, all-turf card, with all races scheduled on the lakeside turf course. First post is 12:45 PM Pacific time with gates opening for simulcasting at 10:00 AM Pacific time.
“Turf racing is very popular amongst our horseplayers and fans,” said Golden Gate Fields general manager and vice president David Duggan. “We are very excited to present this unique opportunity for an all-turf card. There will be a lack of turf racing in Northern California in the coming months,” continued Duggan. “We found it was an ideal opportunity to use our excellent turf course for our horsemen to run their horses.”
Horseplayers should keep in mind that the turf rails will be set at 20 feet for the first four races on the program. Between races 4 and 5, track maintenance crews will move the rails to 0 feet for the remaining three races of the day. There will be about a one hour break in racing during the rail adjustment.
For complete race day, information fans are encouraged to visit GoldenGateFields.com. The winter/spring meet will conclude Sunday, June 10th, 2018.
