Steve's Hialeah Idea.

[satan's twin]

I realize the whole idea is a pipe dream. With John Brunetti running the place, and the amount of dollars it would take to bring it back to its former glory, it's a huge longshot. Nothing wrong with dreaming though. I first came to know Hialeah Park after watching Seattle Slew win the Flamingo Stakes on TV in 1977. I was just a kid, but the place just looked magical. I rooted for Seattle Slew from then on, and watched the Flamingo Stakes every year after. Alydar won the 1978 renewal. Time for a Change defeated the 1/5 Devil's Bag in 1984. It was a major race with major players. Tracks have come and gone over the years, but this one was truly special.
