Florida tracks spared from damage after Hurricane Irma
Last week, racing was canceled at Gulfstream from last Thursday through Sunday in anticipation of Irma.
More than half the horses who are stabled at Gulfstream Park were evacuated, many to the Palm Meadows training center in Boynton Beach, located about 40 miles north of the track. Others were transported to the state’s principal breeding area in Ocala, which also ended up taking a hit from Irma.
Track officials said approximately 300 horses rode out the storm safely in the Gulfstream Park barn area.
Campo said Gulfstream Park is waiting until Saturday to resume racing because “we have to wait for outside resources and utilities in the South Florida area like power, gas and clean-up to catch up.” It may also take several days for all the horses who were evacuated from the barn area to make their way back to the track.
