I was there 2 years ago with Sniper and Antitrust the day after the FL Derby. Still gorgeous.






There is no toteboard or stalls...would obviously take a boatload of cash to get it back to a thoroughbred facility

Didn't know the toteboard was gone - wow, yeah, that would take some cash to redo.

it will be cheaper than tearing down the old one which was an antique. they would have a huge high def toteboard....state of the art. Imagine how awesome it would be ?

You can't even get new parts for those old infield boards.Tracks have been trading what extra stock they have, especially when they get rid of one but there isn't really any of that left either on any regular basis. Some of these smaller places where you see deadspots in parts of the board can't fix them becuase there just are no parts to be had anymore.
