Personally I loved training at Hialeah despite the dismal job that Brunetti did running the place. The takeout was a joke, the barns were falling down around the horses, etc. Supposedly there are issues with asbestos in the grandstand that have to be dealt with if there is any renovations to be done there.
At the end of last meet after a horse would get a check we would pull the $$$ out of the account asap because of worries that they would be no good.
If Brunetti wasn't part of the equation I would think that this idea may have a punchers chance of success. But I would not blame anyone for not wanting to deal with him.

Absolutely Chuck. Without question. It's a monster longshot. I think it's worth a shot having Brunetti out of the equation, if that's what it takes in fact. But, I agree with you.
