Golden Gate Fields, AlbanyGolden Gate Fields was an American horse racing track straddling both Albany, California and Berkeley, California along the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay adjacent to the Eastshore Freeway in the San Francisco Bay Area. With the closing of the Bay Meadows racetrack on May 11, 2008, it was the only major Thoroughbred racetrack in Northern California. It was owned by The Stronach Group. The track was set on 140 acres (0.57 km2) of land in the cities of Albany and Berkeley.

The synthetic track was called Tapeta and was installed in the summer of 2007. [1] On July 16, 2023, The Stronach Group announced that Golden Gate Fields would close at the end of the 2023 race meet. The closing was later delayed tentatively until June 2024. On June 9, 2024, Golden Gate Fields in the East Bay city of Albany, staged its final card, ending an 83-year run.
