Also, I've never heard of horses running on limestone...

That said, apparently the fair board thinks it's still worth more than one race car race a year on the mile. Cant say I don't agree but yes, it sucks that its at the expense of one of the most legendary champ car races.
Good points. If anything, proly lots of room & board made off the horses that are there tho? Hate to say it, but don't imagine too many Silver Crown teams rent stalls there...
