There are always rumors of a new 1 mile oval surfacing in the state. One of the latest is to re-locate the state fair here in Lincoln. The university would take over the land occupied by the fairgrounds and expand the campus. The racetrack and state fair would re-locate to the Lancaster county events center in the north part of town. I can see the university expansion going through, but hard to see voters setting aside money for the "evils" or parimutual racing. (I'm sure Tom Osbourne will stand up again against the evils of gambling. Wonder if he knows about the millions being wagered every week on college football?)

Terry was actually thrice removed from Ak-Sar-Ben. He had left to work full time at Oaklawn well before. When I was hired I took over for Richard Grunder who had replaced Chris Kotulak.

I'd love to see racing come back to Omaha. Those people really love the races.
