the place nicknamed ‘The Thumb,” by the natives. And, because most of the horses there didn’t run over the winter, they ease them into racing slowly. The first couple of weeks are littered with 4 ½ furlong races so horses can race their way back into shape. As the days grow longer, they begin to stretch them out and ultimately; races will be run at longer distances. There is no turf course so all the races will be run on the dirt
