WAS THE FIRST QUARTER HORSE RACING IN FLORIDA SINCE 1991 AT HIALEAH RACE TRACK A SUCCESS? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME 26,000
PEOPLE CAME TO SEE QUARTER HORSE RACING IN ANY STATE? THE FQHRA AND HIALEAH RACE PARK PUT TOGETHER A GREAT PROGRAM
IN A VERY SHORT TIME. THE PURSES AND THE RACING HAVE SHOWN THAT FLORIDA CAN ATTRACT SOME OF THE BEST HORSES IN THE COUNTRY TO COME TO FLORIDA TO RACE. THE CRITICS WHO CHOOSE TO STAY AWAY AND WATCH, NOW ARE WISHING THEY HAD COME TO FLORIDA TO RACE. THIS BREEDING SEASON MAY FIND AN
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STALLIONS AND MARES THAT WILL BREED FOR THE FLORIDA BREDS. HAD THE FOLKS WHO WHERE PROMOTING STALLIONS AND SELLING MARES A YEAR AGO LOOKED AT FLORIDA THEN THEY WOULD NOW BEEN A YEAR AHEAD OF THE GAME. CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE MOVE. NOW WE WAIT FOR THE NEXT MEET TO OPEN IN FLORIDA. CAN FLORIDA COMPETE WITH LOS ALAMITOS ? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
