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!

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

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.

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

Already looking forward to it this fall.

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.

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