It had nothing to do with an earthquake but a regular state inspection last May found issues.
The good news - it's not structurally deficient but has some exposed girders and other stresses that do need repair.
A Freehold Township official tells me they need to do repairs ASAP, but racing is still going forward at this time.

In the time that the grandstand was being rebuilt after the fire, we continued in the tents. Froze in the winter and suffered from intense heat in summer until the grandstand reopened. I remember one really hot afternoon when the refreshment stands ran out of any kind of liquids and had to leave to get something to drink.

  • dougie: Trigger.....you know i'm a GOPer but not MAGA. What they are doing scooping up people with no criminal records who have been here for 20 years or more is just wrong. Only criminals should be picked up and deported. There's enough throughout the country to keep them busy.

  • Trigger: Anyone have any non-traditional T-Giving dishes they're doing in addition to the regular, I think I'm going to try to make bracciole, then what's the point of the prime rib?  I'll make it but fucking turkey ewww, sliced flavored is ok.
