Opened in 1925, Hialeah Park became one of America’s most storied horse tracks, home to Triple Crown winners and boldface society names. But, by 1974, it was on the verge of closing, a victim of changing economics and sporting tastes. That’s when businessman John Brunetti, against the advice of almost everyone, gambled on the ailing racecourse. Forty years later, Brunetti and Hialeah were still defying the odds.
