1999 Suffolk Downs Pictures

This was my first visit to Suffolk Downs. I took along my brand new digital camera and got some great shots of the various races, including the $600,000 MassCap race itself.

Below is a thumbnail of races from both May 29th (MassCap) and closing day on June 5th. Click on a picture to get a full blown version of it.
