Hialeah was a beautiful facility... what a shame that there is no longer racing there. Great idea, Steve! I hope it comes to fruition.

I think.....
Steve's got a brilliant idea. What a legendary track Hialeah is! It deserves to be saved no doubt about that. Hopefully the BC people would be open to the idea. I can't recall if it was a movie, tv show, or in a song, but I believe Hialeah is the first track I ever heard about. From hearing JJ's description of it sounds like quite a sight. I think if anyone can dig find & post pics of Hialeah it would be great.

they had a link on equidaily not long ago with video footage of the place. considering it's been vacant for several years (and what is it with vacant buildings, it's like they KNOW they are empty and fall apart so quickly?!) it looked so beautiful. oh i wish i had the money, that place would open in a couple weeks! such a gorgeous place, and so much history. it's a shame it's sitting there like that.

Anyone know if the Citation statue is still in place? I was a regular at Hialeah Park in the late 1970's. Just a random memory was a guy I saw on more than one occasion on the backside of the grandstand. After apparently losing his $$ for the day, he would hold out his hat and sing a rendition of "The Impossible Dream." In true Broadway "belter" style. He could be heard from over a hundred feet away. And he was pretty good. I gave him a $2 contribution on at least one occasion.
