  Quarter Horses began arriving at Hialeah Park in Florida on Nov. 12, and within several days they will begin training for the track's 40-day meet that will begin Nov. 28.

Meanwhile, City of Hialeah officials said they have issued all building and fire permits that Hialeah Park requested for its meet. That process was completed early in the week of Nov. 9.

The Hialeah track will have all three floors of its clubhouse open, including several of its restaurants, beginning Nov. 28, said John J. Brunetti, Hialeah Park's president and owner. The grandstand portion of Hialeah's building, well known for its Mediterranean-style architecture, will not be re-opened for the Quarter Horse meet that will run through Feb. 2, 2010.

Hialeah is still working on renovating its Paddock Pavilion Building, where it will have a poker room. Brunetti expects Hialeah's poker room will be open by mid-December. Florida laws do not allow Hialeah to carry any simulcasting of Thoroughbreds or other pari-mutuel events during its first meet
