Hialeah Park Racing
Hialeah Park Race Track has had quite a history of events. It originally opened in 1921 but it wasn't until January 25, 1925 that The Miami Jockey Club launched Hialeah's race track at Hialeah Park. It was closed down after a hurricane hit it and officially opened on January 14, 1932 after the reconstruction. On March 5, 1979, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Hialeah Park Race Track covers 40 square blocks of central-east side Hialeah from Palm Avenue east to East 4th Avenue, and from East 22nd Street on the south to East 32nd Street on the north.
In 2001, Hialeah Park stopped hosting racing after a change in the state law kept it from having exclusive dates in its competition with Gulfstream Park and Calder Race Course. Consequently, owner John Brunetti closed Hialeah Park to the public.
In 2004, the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering revoked Hialeah's thoroughbred permit because it did not hold races for the previous two years. The historic racetrack re-opened on November 28, 2009 but only for quarter horse races.
