Does anyone know anything about this track? Are the races available anywhere online to watch? Thanks much

Its a bull ring and has a low wire. My mare My Fair Angel nearly dumped her rider everytime she went to gallop there spooking at the wire. I think the bottom there was $4,000 - $5,000. My brother said Grand Island was a nice town, but I never went up there. I would check the website to see if they show the races on there.

Thanks Austique..what state is this track in? My stallion has a starter in the 4th race on Saturday..I figured it had to be a bottom level track since the colt hasnt raced in 2yrs so I was surprised when I got 2 DRF workouts on him and now this entry.

Ok answered my question....Nebraska. They dont seem to have a link on their site for watching the race and youbet.com doesnt show them as a partner track...guess I will just have to wait and hope that he is sound enough to finish the race (a win would be even nicer)
