Beyer on Pimlico

[Conrad]

One could say the same things about FairGrounds in New Orleans:

>ancient track now situated in basically a ghetto
>it was rebuilt after the fire a few decades ago but is sorely lacking in many areas...too few betting windows and concessions...La Derby day there is a nightmare
>their property is also limited from expansion due to the surrounding neighborhood (there was talk of a 6.5-7f chute being built but there's no room at FG, it would basically hit Gentilly Blvd.)
>place survives basically because of one massive event held there every year...Jazz Fest
