Quarterhorse Racing at Hialeah? Can I order spam at the Old Homestead or
Peter Luger\'s today?
Florida obviously covering its ass in case Frankstream Park becomes a victim
of Chapter 11. A recent Beyer article pointed out that Churchill Downs Inc is
not likely to be a player in purchasing some of the Magna properties.
Can only hope that if Hialeah is reopened, they do it the right way. This was
once a beautiful facility with a main track which horsemen loved to race and train over.
