Saturday's opening day at the meet rebranded as Gulfstream Park West will truly mark the beginning of an end. Barring an 11th hour reprieve from the courts, the day season will be the last ever run at Calder Race Course, the meat-and-potatoes South Florida track that has been operating since Since , the racing operation has been leased by Calder's owner, Churchill Downs Inc.

Calder bridged the gap between the winter and early spring meets that were held at Gulfstream and at Hialeah and ushered in an era of year-round racing in South Florida.

While Calder was never as glamorous as the other tracks in the area, it satisfied a need and was a starting point for many successful jockeys, trainers and horses.

A lot of people did great there and Calder launched the career of a lot of horsemen. Calder was a great place for me and my family. It gave us a lot of stability and it gave me time to be with my family.

I am going to sorely miss it. Over the years, Churchill has become increasingly less interested in racing and has been focusing on gaming. Following the end of the meet, Churchill had the grandstand torn down, leaving little behind but the racetrack itself. In , a casino opened at Calder. Florida law required Churchill to run a live racing meet of at least 40 days in order to keep its casino license, but Churchill found a loophole in the law and argued that any form of pari-mutuel wagering would satisfy the requirements for a casino.

In May, , Churchill opened a jai alai fronton, which is far less costly to operate than a racetrack, on the grounds. Four months later, a Florida Court upheld a decision by the state's Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering that allowed Calder to tie its casino permit to jai alai.

Horse racing was no longer needed.
