Comments

  • The lake is the center is supposed to resemble the state of NJ (according to the Wiki article)
  • Not the longest harness track, Colonial Downs in Virginia holds that distinction at 1 1/4 mile. Only Belmont, a New York thoroughbred track, is longer.
  • Anybody know if this view is the new Meadowlands?
