Hialeah is one step closer.

The infield at Hialeah was one of the most scenic in all of horse racing.

I heard once that they filmed scenes the a major motion picture -- I think the "Godfather" -- from the Hialeah grandstand and in the infield. The walking ring and statues at Hialeah were a work of art.

One great book on training throughbreds by Robert Collins talks about the beauty of Hialeah Park (back in the 1930's and 1940's) and how great winter racing was at that time.

It would be great to start up such a historic venue for thoroughbred racing again !!!

By the way, Merry Christmas to all !!!!
