Lone star park was like that ...from its opening in 1997 until 2000 it was a cash cow. When 2001 ended it was a whole different scene for betting. Chalk city for many diff reasons.
I remember getting $20 to win on asmussen's Heritage of Gold. First time starter would go onto to win the Molly Pitcher & then some more. The exacta over a Kenny smith horse brought $152 iirc. Then Heritage of Gold ran a turf race as a 2TS. Won easy, pd $11.
When 2001 was halfway through the season you knew the golden days were gone.
