Regarding thoroughbreds, the dates situation is a mess of course, but there certainly could be room carved out for perhaps a couple boutique style stands (12-15 days each?) at Hialeah annually?

Could renovated facilities be such that it would ever be feasible to host the Breeders' Cup one day? It's just so beautiful. Imagine those flamingos in the infield and how that plays on television. I assume the weather there in November would be fantastic, but I have no idea about how many people it could be made to hold, parking, and all the other things required for such a big event.
If nothing else, they should aspire to make it the ideal blend of racing and gaming. Something that doesn't end up being a casino that happens to exist at a racetrack and never the twain shall meet. If they could just manage that much...
