Closing Night Photos at Pompano Park
5 Attachment(s)
It was a fun yet sad night last night at Pompano Park, but Gabe Prewitt and the Pompano team went out with a bang! The handle $1,430,824 was the third highest in track history. Wally Hennessey came back to the winners circle after winning the 14th race with Panocchio à la Hervé Filion, standing in the sulky back to the Winners Circle! Not only did Mr. Hennessey win the last three races, but he was so gracious and kind with the fans, taking pictures and signing autographs for anyone who asked. Our Suff and Jason Beem were also there to take in the final program!
After the last race was over, they showed a tribute video thanking all of their loyal employees and allowed people to take one last lap of the track and say goodbye. The last race went off at 12:25 AM and they turned off the lights for the final time at 1:34 AM.
You have permission to use any and all of my photos, all I ask for is a photo credit (Tristan Zieley). All photos taken by me with the exception of the photo with Suff which is courtesy of Suff & Jason Beem.
Long Live The Pomp! 1964-2022. You will be missed.
