I know that was a joke, Tom, but you are probably right
I understand at Hollywood Park there is a sign as the horses go on the track from the barn area....enter at your own health risk....or something to that effect.
I was over at Santa Anita the other day, and let me tell you that stuff STINKS, it has a terrible order to it.
One of my friends who has been on it, since they opened it up, claims to have a headache every morning coming home from Santa Anita.
Stay tuned to this one.........

The item will be free to the first 15,000 fans with paid general admission and will include a color photo of a group of Thoroughbreds turning for home and an inscription documenting the significance of the enclosed soil.
The inscription: Remember when racing was fun to watch!

Something to build on ...
Considering the California market, that's probably the real estate bargain of the millennium!

Amazing it took someone that long to get it on Ebay. Really looks cool, though...

Please consider this diatribe irrespective of my stated views:

That soil killed our horsies at an absolutely catastrophic rate ! Would you vacuum-pack dirt from Hiroshima or Treblinka ?
