make your trip plans for Beantown!!!!!
 
MassCap is Back!!!!!!!!!!!

As a NH guy, I might have to make the trip.
It will depend on how they structure the purse money I guess to see who they get. Good for the new ownership!

That is awesome! Now if the Sox are in town, it will be one hella of a trip!

boswd 05-25-2007 09:33 AM

If the Sox were a night game, that would be a great day!!!!!!!!!!

Thrilled to hear they are going to run the Masscap this year

The only news better would be if they ran it at Rockingham Park

XIIPointStables 05-25-2007 10:18 AM

Agreed! I love the Rock.

If they run it in late September (9/22, 9/29) NIGHT Sox games both nights.

So we got that going for us.

Talk about a party!!

Should be a great day.

The last Mass Cap was a great race with Funny Cide and Offlee Wild, and there was a solid crowd on hand that day...and I hit the pick 4 :cool:

Already looking forward to it this fall.

A Holiday Inn right next to the track!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how nice of a track is suffolk?

i've lived here now for 4 years and have contemplated a trip to suffolk, but the area its in looks pretty bleak.

i guess it's that though, or scarborough downs.

It's really not that bad. And the surrounding area's just that strip of 1-A with gas stations, Logan satellite parking, and gas tanks. Scenic- no. But the parking's free, and there are plenty of seats outdoors if the weather's nice.
I've heard here and from others that they've done some sprucing-up, so this would be the time to go while they're actually spending some $ on the property.

Racing and the SOX...Does it get any better?

hoovesupsideyourhead 05-25-2007 07:13 PM

the mass cap is one of the worst races ever...its the "afterthought stakes"..

Coach Pants 05-25-2007 07:30 PM

Grab the book "Not By A Longshot" Great tale of Suffolk woes and particularly the MassCap saga over the years. Good read!
