Turf racing postponed at Golden Gate Fields because of rain

Persistent rain has postponed the start of turf racing at Golden Gate Fields this year.

The track had hoped to run a few turf races this week, but the course won’t be used until next week at the earliest after more than 1 1/2 inches of rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Golden Gate Fields races Friday through Sunday. The track has not conducted racing on grass since last fall.
