Anyone know if the Citation statue is still in place?



I was a regular at Hialeah Park in the late 1970's.

Just a random memory was a guy I saw on more than one occasion on the backside of the grandstand.

After apparently losing his $$ for the day, he would hold out his hat and sing a rendition of "The Impossible Dream."

In true Broadway "belter" style. He could be heard from over a hundred feet away. And he was pretty good. I gave him a $2 contribution on at least one occasion.
