I didn't think so either, but when they were showing actual arial shots it was the new GP.

Grandstand Pan was new Gulfstream, turf course looked nice.

On track was indeed Los Alamitos, I think Joy Scott even got a cameo but can't know for sure.

Chantal Sutherland 'interviewed' for the position of the electric jockey but I guess she got denied (Article about it in Horse Society Magazine)

You have to love the real percepttion of horse racing for the non racing fan, and this show played into every one of em

1. Gambling and racing horses is a seedy business, its not quite drugs, but it can lead you to death
2. When a horse makes a late move like that better check the close up pictures for the buzzer (ie, sounds like Funny Cide right, that was true I guess)
3. If a horse runs poorly better check the horse for cocaine, yup in racing horses are drugged not to run well but to run poorly
4. Even when you do find that miracle great horse someone will swindle you out of it
5. When all else fails lets run on fake dirt, just not in Miami
