Default New racetrack near Detroit Airport

Today, Bloodhorse.com:

Michigan Thoroughbred owner and banking executive Jerry Campbell announced Oct. 8 plans for a new racetrack and retail complex to be located near Detroit Metro Airport

Campbell’s announcement said the track would operate a live meet annually between March and November that would be highlighted by the Michigan Derby. The $500,000 race for 3-year-olds would be held at Pinnacle Race Course in early April and would include a $5-million bonus for any horse that won the Michigan Derby and Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I).
