i believe warren buffett said when everyone else gets timid, that's the time to get greedy. now would be the right time, if you have the ability, to make the attempt.
plus, what better time to try to compete with gulfstream than now? with the track reconfiguration, and how that affected their 3 yo racing, a viable fla alternative could be a big draw.

It is.:zz:

Years later and Brunetti ends up getting the job done and Minor is ruined..

Amazing: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifest...G4U_story.html

Sure talked a good game, though, didn't he? I have a few crates of Halsey Minor Snake Oil that I'd like to unload if you're interested...

There's still the matter of quarter horse races vs TB dates right? Will Calder and Gulfstream ever let up on Hialeah's ability to get those? They don't seem to be interested in working anything out. Of course, sometimes it feels like asking to see racetracks working together is a bit like asking to see a unicorn. Will the Flamingo Stakes ever be back on our 2yo radar?

A great article that must leave us all now knowing how Hialejah and even Pimlico would have been devastated.
