Track Superintendent Ken Brown Readying Colonial Downs Surfaces For Reopening

When the first thoroughbred race since 2013 is held at Colonial Downs Racetrack this August, one person in particular will breathe a sigh of relief. Track superintendent Ken Brown, who began his second stint at the New Kent, Va., track in April, is in charge of bringing its two highly regarded racing surfaces back to life after years of inactivity. The last Thoroughbred race was held there in July 2013 and the last Standardbred race took place over the dirt track in October 2014.
