It's Disney. 'Nuff said.

And how 'bout the heavy bible thumping? Some critics said it was cheap pandering to the bible belt to boost box office. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Can't do Oaklawn. No turf course.
Arlington would be good, although the Pick Six Scandal, no fault of theirs, looms over them. And the weather would be a real crapshoot.
