I remember Churchill Downs and Rosebowl.

Santa Anta was the name of the place before Gary Austin took over.
Gary Auston put out an opinionated line in a World Series game between the Royals and Cardinals. he loved the Cards, they lost the game and he 86'd out of town and the book never reopened and no one got paid.

I'm probably as anti-CDI as can be, but I do think what they've done with the new Tapeta surface at Turfway is good for racing. But I'd probably argue that Kentucky is the only state where they have any real interest in the racing.

Living the high life for the past three decades vis-a-vis a lifestyle founded on stolen money. Feds need to close the circle on this scumbag and see that he lives out the remainder of his days at the greybar hotel.
