Racing Turf Track & Golf Course Poem by Kalman Phillips circa 1940 Wondering what the trac- 260 Petaluma Blvd. North Petaluma CA 94952 tors are dong on the racetrack in-field, and why the golf course disappeared? On April 8, the Turf Track Ground Breaking Ceremony took place in the shadow of Wine Country Racing’s toteboard, and directly on the ground where the new turf track now sits. According to Fair Man- ager Jim Moore, the driving force behind the decision to build a turf track at the Sonoma County Fair, “Sonoma County’s rich history and love for horse racing played a huge role in our commitment to move ahead with this project. Develop- ment of the turf track will take horseracing to a new level at the home of Wine Country Racing. It will bring better horses to the track and a new prestige to a racing meet that already enjoys a great reputa- tion in the racing community.” Turf racing will not be conducted on the turf track until the 2005 Fair, but construction is now substantially complete, and you may actually see the final stages of construction taking place during the 2004 Sonoma County Fair Wine Country Racing meet. The turf track will be seven furlongs, or 7/8 of a mile long. It will be approximately 60’ wide, and built upon a base of sand. The newly redesigned 9-hole, 1,445 yard, par 29 golf course will feature a practice putting green, grass practice tees, and a short game chipping green. The Fairgrounds Golf Course is scheduled to open in Spring 2005. WWW.PETALUMAPOST.COM THE PETALUMA POST JULY 2004 • 27 You Can’t Do It In A Day: One State You Have to Travel See to Believe!
