For me, the South Florida racing experience has been completely ruined. I'm sure others will disagree, and for them I am happy, but I was uncomfortable in the new plant. I spent upwards of 250 racing days at the old Gulfstream and there is NO semblence of the pleasurable former plant remaining. I am not suggesting that all changes were not for the better, and I am all for reinventing racetracks for the future, but to deny the fans what is enjoyable about spending a winter day in the sun at the racetrack in the Miami area is a crime that I have a tough time forgiving.
And I am not even talking about the closet sized paddock and dangerously tight walking ring. I shudder to think of what could happen should a horse get loose in that cramped space. Suffice to say it will be a situation that racing will have a very difficult time recovering from.

as i said i was at the old one i was at the under constrt gulf, i like the plan and lets face it the cards this year money wise were crap in comparison to ny ..the only way to get that up to par is slots..period..again its not the old way but when the plan comes to fruition...the will be no reason for the best in the country not too flock to hallendale..imo the layout may be bad for some but the bumz in the bleachers thing is not what they need..if it costs 10 bucks for a ticket that will get rid of the unwashed..ill gladly pay...
