MUST SEE - PARR MEADOWS RACE TRACK -LOT OF 4 UNIQUE HORSE RACING BETTING TICKETS

Description

Ever hear of Parr Meadows Racetrack? Me either. There’s a reason for that. The track opened in 1977 and didn’t even survive its first season! Parr Meadows was a five eights mile Quarter Horse track located in Yaphank about fifty miles east of Belmont Park, making it the Eastern most track in New York.
The history of Parr Meadows could only be described as a disaster.  From the get go there were nothing but problems. The original name for the track was to be Suffolk Meadows, but after years of problems the original owners bailed and the project was taken over by Ronald Parr, who obviously named the new track after himself.
Opening night in May of 1977 drew an estimated 15,000 fans to the first quarter horse track in New York, but many probably never returned. Those first night patrons were probably a little surprised when they went to get a seat in the grandstand only to find metal posts sticking out of the concrete, it seems the seats to go with them never arrived. Another thing the crowd didn't know was that the track had almost no money, the armored car bringing their cash got lost and arrived just minutes before post, delaying the first race by twenty minutes. It would also be two more weeks before the restaurant opened.
Parr Meadows never made it through that first season, financial issues forced Ronald Parr to close the track when he couldn't secure enough financing to keep the track afloat. It was rumored that he even tried to get money from organized crime. Lucky for him they didn’t buy in or he probably would have ended up in the East River wearing cement galoshes!  The track would remain idle for nine years when another attempt at quarter horse racing was attempted. It also failed in less than one season! Duhhhhhhhh.
