Excellent discussion with Gary West yesterday regarding the opening of this great racetrack. This has to be a 'must see' on your 'bucket list' of places to take in live racing. I was at the 1977 Arkansas Derby (Clever Tell) and still can remember the overflow crowd of 60,000 packing the place. I'm sure it has changed plenty since then but the quality and type of atmosphere has remained fantastic. Terry Wallace is fun to listen to and this used to be the place that was a precursor to the Ak-Sar-Ben meet in Omaha.
Ahhhh memories....................
