After nearly 50 years, Calder sees racing for the final time

After nearly 50 years, the sun has set on a racing day at Calder for the final time. Diligent won the final race at the track formerly known as Calder on Saturday, ending a half-century run of racing at the facility that was rebranded several years ago as Gulfstream Park West. It was a fitting finish: Eddie Plesa Jr., a member of Calder’s Hall of Fame, was the winning trainer in the final race at the facility.
