They plan to auction off most of the fixtures there after they shut it down, so I don't see how. It won't be a turn key business after that, the place would need to be totally retooled.

Freehold is the racetrack version of the Titanic! Dead in the water!

This is a shame. I see the a lawsuit by standardbred owners group. It does not look good.

Done . They also have a study done from a structural engineer on there bridge crossing a highway that supposedly is in immediate repairs. We are flying out east to see some of the properties that will be offered up for auction. The General manager is going to meet with us .

Goes over route 9 right after the 1/8th pole.

Looks like it’s where the horses go over to come on to the track from the upper paddock

I have a lot of family in Central Jersey and enjoyed hitting Freehold whenever we visited. Very small crowds and the place is in disrepair. Although it looks dirty, it really isn't. Bathrooms don't work well, and escalator has been broken a long time.  The "Clubhouse/Restaurant" area has very little food. Better to bring in a bite from the food court at the mall across the street. I know when I saw Niatross race there in September, 1980 (if I remember correctly), the place was packed. Had to park at the mall and walk over. Better days for the once historic track.
