Caliente - they had bookies with fixed odds as well as mutuels. You could bet $1 with the books and age didn't matter.
Tanforan - a deep, slow course that favored horses that liked the mud
Washington Park and old Arlington
Hialeah - the most beautiful track that ever was
Tropical Park
Randall Park - it was near Thistledown and the last time I was there the shopping mall that replaced it was defunct
Old Latonia
Beulah Park

I loved Centennial!....In Littleton, not that far away from Lowry AFB, where I did my Tech training.

Pompano still going I think. I forgot about River Downs- I’d been there too. I think Belterra is the same footprint but a different building, or did they move?

"Where it all began, where it is today".
To paraphrase The Pretenders,
"the tracks of the country
have been replaced by shopping malls"
Roosevelt, Liberty Bell and Brandywine all fit that description I believe

The other one is Cahokia Downs, which closed in 1980 when I was 12 years old.
