"Most Beautiful Tracks in America"
Somehow, I don't think Philly Park,or Beulah are included.There seem to be a lot of birds surviving at Philly though(proof that it is not a nuclear test site.)

i think it's a crying shame it's been down, especially since gulfstream isn't too horse race fan friendly.

Philly is a sports town through and through, fans are rabid in their zest for sports. They are a racing town as well, and a big one. When smarty came back to Philly they had like a zillion people waiting for him at the airport, and on belmont day when he went for the crown they sent busloads of people over and had their own park at full capacity to watch the simulcast. Place wasn't doing that well and when Delaware got slots all the horsemen went away. But lemme tell you something, given a choice between living in Delaware or a town like Philly(proud to say Steve took me in there on the way home from the Preakness to see the town, and I had the most incredible Philly cheesesteak sandwich, it was really awesome to see the place for teh first time) horsemen will choose philly any day of the week once the purses get the bump from the slots. They've already announced one good purse increase and the slots just started. In a couple of years you won't be able to get stalls, and the fact the place was able to stay open despite the tragic cards they have put on for years is amazing. Imagine the handle and crowd increase once they are putting on a real LIVE show. Telling you, a couple of years from now you won't believe the place.
