Bill:
I came across this factoid "What will be missed most by fans will be the ritual after the seventh race -- the flight of the flamingos. After buying the track in 30 and transforming it into the most visited South Florida tourist attraction, Joseph E. Widener imported a flock of Cuban flamingos to inhabit the infield and gardens. Some have been relocated, but many still reside in their sanctuary on the infield."
It's at http://www.horsingaround.info , search the site for "Hialeah flamingos"
