Centennial Racetrack: Racing with the River

The history of Centennial Race Track in Littleton, Colorado. Interviews with race track staff, breeders, trainers, vets, and jockeys. Also includes rare footage of the great South Platte River flood of 1965, which was the catalyst for the creation of today's South Platte Park.

I really enjoyed this piece. I spent many days on the frontside of Centennial and I was not surprised to see my dad captured in a photo waiting to place a bet. Too bad this piece of Colorado history gave way to development. How fun would it be to take the light-rail to the races?
