Join award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Gaspar González as he explores the history of Hialeah Park —
one of South Florida’s most iconic locales.
From its origins in the 1920s, through its decades-long reign as one of the capitals of Thoroughbred winter racing, to its dramatic closing in 2001 and unexpected rebirth as a casino complex in 2013, Hialeah Park has endured as a landmark.
Hear about: The famed pink flamingos: Imported from Cuba and a fixture at Hialeah Park for more than 90 years; Citation: The first racehorse in history to earn more than a million dollars; Diane Crump: The first female jockey to compete at a major pari-mutuel track.
