BTW, I agree the old Gulfstream had a ton of tradition and ran a close second to Hialeah back a few decades ago, but the same can be said about numerous stadiums around the country (baseball - football). They have torn them down and built entertainment centers. The ol' mighty dollar.
Stornach's original plan was to sell Gulfstream (high rent district) and race at Palm Meadows. I truely beleive this was his plan, but he got shut out by Palm Beach County, mainly PBKC (Dan Rooney).
