This will hit me hard. People talking about PB Downs as an alternative seems bonkers. Hialeah, maybe.
1) Get it declared a historical site.
2) Get friendlies at the state/local level to support it like a stadium (Marlins ParK!)
3) Get a rich lover of racing (Repole?) to run it as a not-for-profit
4) Run the casino year-round, but the racing as a boutique winter meet
Has to be someone with a real passion for the sport, including the fans. Put all profits back into purses. CAWs only get rebates if the bets clear 2 minutes before post. Let fans buy engraved walking ring tiles for $1k - all monies going to aftercare. Etc.
Make it a destination for racing fans, and something different to do for tourists after getting bored of a week at the beach.
