Yes. Extensive.

The answer is that the agreement between Gulfstream Park and Calder Casino & Race Course does not have an immediate spot for Hialeah Park, which has not had live Thoroughbred racing since 2001.
But Hialeah Park owner John Brunetti remains determined to bring Thoroughbreds back to his famous racetrack, where the main attractions are now a casino that opened last August and live Quarter Horse racing. Brunetti is hoping to stage a comeback through a deal with his one-time nemesis Gulfstream. The agreement with Calder has in effect given Gulfstream control over South Florida racing dates.
