Its rumor.. but its quality rumor from know nothings with big ears,,,
They are moving Gulfstream West to Palm Meadows.. where most of the Gulfstream horses are stabled already....
This is Boynton Beach... about a 90 minute drive to Gulfstream Park in a horse trailer on I-95. 60 minutes in a car. Its 20 minutes north of Boca Raton.
Buildings and Tracks
In the stable area there are 40 barns. Each barn has 36 stalls (12'x12') and each stall floor has rubber mats. Every other stall is lined with rubber on the walls. Each barn has an office with its own private restroom, two tack rooms (12'x12'), a second restroom for staff, provisions for a washer, dryer and ice machine, and a storage loft for light equipment. Connecting the barns with the main track is a system of horse paths designed in such a way that a horse need never walk on pavement to access the track. There are also 20 40-foot wide sand rings for horses to roll in.
Can house 500 backside workers.
For backside employees there are four three-story dorm buildings, each consisting of 52 rooms, eachroom with approximately 240 square feet of living space, air-conditioned or heated, with each room having a bathroom with a shower stall, two beds, storage locker. Each dorm building has a laundry room equipped with three washers and three dryers. In the courtyard border by the dorms are two sand volleyball courts and a patio area with benches and an area for barbeque grills.
Even the paddock is intimate.
