I wish we had thoroughbred racing here.
its always good to know what we had in windsor in terms of history.i remember my dad telling me that when he came to windsor in 1970,the devonshire mall was just under construction but he remembers seeing parts of the old track still there before it was completely gone.Now the only remants of the old race tracks is in kennilworth estate with the two old square pillars at the intersection of south camroon and howard.hopefully it does not get torn down.
as you drive into jackson parkfrom Tecumseh rd there are 2 short concrete pillars with round tops i understand those are all that remain of the horse track in the park from that peroid
