It is my understanding that this venue, owned by the Ocala Breeders Sales Company (which includes an indoor auditorium), is used for the sale of thoroughbred horses. I know little about this company but have heard that the track is used for only one race annually.

bel hippodrome. A Evry on a aussi un vieil hippodrome, mais il va etre raser pour devenir un stade de rugby
Horse racing certainly has lost a lot of fans over the past decade. For good reason, too, IMHO. The trainers, owners, etc. need to clean up their acts re. drugs and pushing horses beyond their capabilities. I LOVE going to the track but I'm gradually losing my appetite for it.
Maintenance of a track for one yearly race? Wow!
Beautiful image with very interesting structure!
I like a lot the lines in this picture!

Love the wide open spaces, can just imagine the cheering of the crowds in the stand as the horses gallop by,
On a recent trip to Ireland we were told that the government operates the horse stud services so that even common people can breed their horses for a reasonable fee and have a chance at breeding race horses.
It seems curious that there's only one race here annually.
Horses really are a big business in your neck of the woods.
How strange. It must be a heck of a race if they only have it once a year. We used to have horse races here but the track was at the the county fair grounds and they lost it in bankruptcy. I'm not a big fan of horse racing but I did enjoy the county fair which we have lost too.
Hello! Beautiful capture!
It looks like you were laying on the grass for this one. I guess this is a training track.
seems like a lot for one race
What a waste of space!!
