3/13/07.....................The limitation that states that Dixon Downs will not hold live horse races in the tomato harvest season -- generally the months of September and October -- was made in response to the lawsuit filed by Campbell Soup Company against the project based on the assertion that traffic caused by Dixon Downs would prevent timely trucking for the soup company's deliveries.
After the announcement of the covenants, Campbell representatives said Mar. 9 that it would drop the litigation, and the company's teamsters union said they are now endorsing the racetrack, according to Mills.

And the Teamsters union is now endorsing the track! Perhaps they could now use some union thugs to persuade the other locals opposing Dixon Downs
