The Fairgrounds is a dump and falling apart and horse racing is a niche sport.
It would be nice to have but it certainly wouldn’t do much for the city beyond create a massive traffic jam around City Park for a weekend in November.
I would spend more time fixing my shitty football and basketball teams than on this.
Could the @BreedersCup come to @fairgroundsnola
New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and Saints & Pelicans owner Gayle Benson went from Paris, France to Paris, Kentucky to work on landing the big event.

Gayle Benson has over $10b in assets and is about to get over $500m in NBA expansion. It’s time for city and state leaders to put up her own money for her hobbies.
This is a real possibility "if" Churchill Downs and the state of Louisiana are willing to step up and make it happen. Would need significant $$$ to upgrade the facility and add temporary seating for @BreedersCup. But it can happen. See: Lone Star Park, 2004.
