Now's the perfect time to think about it. They're working on the site and are in a position to make improvements that would benefit them later should they pursue the BC. At the very least they could make sure not to do something that would make it difficult to adjust. Sure CD has it next, but there's no reason Hialeah couldn't put things in motion to get it sooner rather than later.

Honorable mention: Monmouth

Well it would be nice if Churchill does a better job with it than the inside paved highway they had last time....I think Belmont is a terrific venue for it as was SA before poly.

I vote for Ellis Park. It would be a good bargaining chip for Geary to get slot machines. He can threaten to shut down the track and not run the BC the day before if an emergency session isn't called that evening to put slots in all Kentucky race tracks.

Then the BC will call his bluff and he can look like a pompous child one more time.

Heck lets give Florida Another shot, but Lets go to Tampa, I bet we could Squeeze 10,000 Plus in there. An as an added bonus everyone knows they Have one of the best dirt tracks around. I love going to Tampa on the weekends great place to go to the Races.

if they could get about 40,000 in there they would be a candidate

I have always liked the Breeders' Cup rotating amongst a lot of racetracks... for one, the game does not only happen in NY, KY or Cal. Secondly, there are lots of fair weather racetracks who could handle the BC. Finally, I think a big event grows best when introduced to a variety of markets.

People are sour about venues such as Monmouth all of the sudden because it rained... as if it would never rain somewhere else? I thought Monmouth was an awesome venue, and would love to go there again.

I hate to wish anything other than the best on Hialeah and unfortunately that currently means possibly having good things happen to Brunetti. Ick. Perhaps other factors in Florida will make up for his involvement. Maybe they already are.
