Default CNet founder wants to buy, resurrect Hialeah Park

Steve.

A serious contender has emerged to bring back Hialeah Park to its glory. I would love to hear you interview Mr. Minor on At the Races.

Place is in really bad condition. Needs a ton of work. Gulfstream is in bad shape for numerous reasons, and if they reopened this track they would have the same problems.

1) There are a ton of casinos in south florida to compete with

2) Arkansas and LA have put together very solid meets to compete with

3) Good horses take the winter off now.

John B estimate of 20 -30 million to get Haileah operational again is way way on the short side BUT it seems this Gentlemen has very very Deep Pockets. So more power to him I would love to see it happen.
