Those 1 PM matinee at the dogs -- 6 PM Hooters -- and 7:30 PM evening program at the dogs with my grandfather were fond memories of my childhood.

They only simulcasted Calder and NYRA, I believe. Those were the days when U Can Do It was the star at Calder and Lady Quick and I Get Around were unbeatable at Daytona

WOW never thought I would here those names again living here in Ocala we made many a trip to Daytona and still do once in awhile

They re-built the whole complex a couple of years ago, and moved it a bit to the south. Haven't been in there yet, but drove by it a couple of weeks ago. It looked quite nice. Not necessarily Taj Mahal Derby Lane nice, but nice.
