Couple quick comments:

*Hialeah is about as close geographically to "Miami" as Hallandale / Gulfstream (so I would not "take shots" at Miami because of Hialeah).

*Calder is not exactly in a "great" neighborhood either (you go about one block west of the track and you better "pray for your life"). I don't have the stat's but I would guess that the crime rate around Calder exceeds a similar sized area around Hialeah Park. One difference is the ease of access to the major Thoroughfares like the Turnpike and 95. I don't necessarily translate the word Hialeah to crime personally (and I work 2 miles from Hialeah).

*Hialeah may have been a safe track for the horsemen to train / race and beautiful to watch the horses while running, but the 1st word that comes to my mind when I hear the name Hialeah Park is "toilet". Most Kennel Clubs and even Pompano Park have better "environments" for their patrons than Hialeah (example they have air conditioning). I would just as soon move the Super Bowl's away from Joe Robby er Pro Player er Dolphins Stadium and back to the Orange Bowl before I would take away a Breeders Cup (or any other major racing event) from Belmont, CD, etc and put it at Hialeah Park (at least the 1990's / 2000's version of Hialeah Park).

Next time they run the Breeders Cup at Belmont they should move the entire racing schedule up 1 month. I'm getting tired of spending 6 hours outside on an overcast day with 40 degree temps and that misty rain falling that seems to show up each time the big day is held in NY.

Monmouth is going to be even worse this year. At least at Belmont you can fit 65,000 people inside in between races. If it is nasty weather this year it will like riding the E train at rush hour inside that tiny little racetrack.

I've never found the E train to be that bad.
