The 83-year-old horse-racing track… situated right on the bay between Berkeley and Albany… regularly drew thousands of racing fans and gamblers. But it’s officially closed now. The final horse race took place earlier this month, and many of the workers had been there for decades. Reporter Nick Lozito covered the closure for Berkeleyside.
