Turf racing is to return to Gulfstream Park on Thursday, Dec. 1 after a 5 1/2-month absence at the Hallandale Beach, Fla. track.
Gulfstream's turf course and the turf training course at Palm Meadows near Boynton Beach were closed during the summer and fall while 1S/T Racing's Director of Turf Surfaces Leif Dickinson could renovate the surfaces.
Three turf races carded for Gulfstream's turf course on Thursday, Dec. 1, and an additional three are carded for Friday, Dec. 2.
“It appears that Gulfstream has hired the right man for this project,” Joe Orseno, president of the Florida Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, said in the group's November publication. “I walk the turf course regularly and the results are amazing. I hope the horsemen are pleased with the efforts that management has taken to try and give them the best possible turf course to run on.”
The Palm Meadows turf course reopened Nov. 3, with training hours Thursday through Sunday from 10-10:30 a.m. (ET).
