And They're Off!

Rockingham ParkThe Preakness is Saturday, and if you've got a case of horse race fever, you'll want to know about Rockingham Park. The $1 million New Hampshire horse track opened in 1906, and 10,000 fans came from Boston, Rhode Island and New York. Then, it closed down for 25 years. You see, gambling on horseracing was illegal in New Hampshire. It's not now, and race action starts at Rockingham Park on May 22.
