As I write this I'm reminded (don't know why) of a promotion by a grocery store in Cleveland circa 1960's. When you shopped there you got a racing ticket and there was a show every week of 6 horse races, I'm sure it was taped and can't remember where it was from.

When my parents moved to Atlanta in the late 1970s, they had the same promotion going at their local supermarket, probably the exact same races, since they took place at Tropical Park, which was torn down in 1971 or 72.
