COLONIAL TURF READY FOR RACING

After a controlled burn of the Secretariat Turf Course less that three months ago, the nitrogen rich Bermuda is full and ready to go for opening day at Colonial Downs Saturday, June 2nd.  First race post time 12:55.
An impressive sight is the backstretch without the railing installed that show an ocean of the "Big Red" green.  The new turf course lights line the railing on the left.
Track employees install the inner rail on the grandstand turn.  Both sets of railing at Colonial will be moved more than a half-dozen times during the meet.
