"the guy wants to duplicate saratoga racing. he will never capture the saratoga ambiance, nobody ever will, but he will bring the same quality of racing to south florida. "

Let's hope he enhances the quality of racing in South Florida the way he has at so many of his other tracks. Running GP head to head with Calder should help a great deal, and of course the Malls at Gulfstream will bring in a whole new set of racing fans.

And speaking of Saratoga, Stronach won't even duplicate Saratoga AT Saratoga, once Magna is running the show in NY. Figure he'll want to lengthen the Spa meet to at least three months, and probably more. And I really don't think you can make a rational argument that a three, four, five month meet will do much to enhance the quality of racing and ambience at Saratoga.
