Gulfstream Park may soon be able to offer races on three different surfaces as officials are in the process of finalizing plans to install a Tapeta track on the outer section of the turf course. The story was originally reported by the Daily Racing Form.
“It's going to happen,” Bill Badgett, executive director of Florida racing The Stronach Group told the DRF's Mike Welsch. “Right now, we're just trying to find a time frame to implement the project that will be least disruptive to our racing schedule. We had the engineers out here on Tuesday surveying the course. The Tapeta track will be installed over what is now the outer 60 feet of the turf course. That will still give us enough room for two rail settings on the inner turf.”
