Question on Los Alamitos Dimensions
It would appear that Los Al's circumference is a bit less than 1 mile, as there is a pole about 50 feet before the finish line.
And its chute on the backstretch seems to be on a slight angle, just...

With Tampa Bay Downs never racing over the summer, what is the nearest venue to Gulfsteam that offers grass racing?
Colonial Downs I guess - and Laurel/Pimlico when their short meet ends.
