Scarborough Downs is celebrating its 60th racing
season this year and as part of the celebration
festivities, the track is searching for customers,
horsemen, former employees, etc. with stories
that they want to share. Many people have a
special story to tell about their experience
at Scarborough Downs, from its first opening
back in July 1950, to today.
“What we’re planning a really is a great way
to not only celebrate the history of the track,
but keep the memories alive for future generations,”
said Publicity Director Michael Sweeney. “It
seems everyone has a story about Scarborough
Downs. Not a day goes that someone doesn’t share
with us their fond memories of being here.”
All submissions will be reviewed and the best
will be selected for video taping to be aired
as short segments during the live race card
on the celebration day of Saturday, July 17th.
Scarborough Downs is also seeking track memorabilia
for its Hall of Fame display in the Grandstand.
Anyone is invited to share their best memory
of Scarborough Downs by going to the track’s
website (www.ScarboroughDowns.com) and clicking
on the “Submit your Story” link. Deadline for
submissions is June 25th.
