Colonial Downs has the widest turf course in the US - 180 feet across.

But here is what almost nobody realizes: the rail can actually move. And when it does, it changes who’s favored to win before the race even starts.

Race architecture is sitting right in front of you at Colonial Downs - most people just never think to look for it.

Save this for your next trip to @colonialdownsracetrack I give you the stats, you make the picks. 🐎🍀

Thank you for explaining all that it was wonderful. I knew nothing about Colonial Downs . You should contact MRH they are looking for social media people. You would be great! Are you going to be there tomorrow to see Caldera?

Very interesting and informative!Also, I love that there are no obstacles to block the view of the back stretch. Just need a good pair of binoculars to see the whole race.
