I grew up attending races at the Fort. Loved the old place.

Was on hand for filming of the Stallion movie.
A young Terry Gar was radient; Mickey Rooney dressed a a Southern gent.
The crowd used as extras.
Much of the dailies never made it to the finished film.

Alas, the Fort has fallen to modern times.
