Original Toronto Star caption: New track in the making: Gino Micoli; workman at site of Flamboro Downs race track in Dundas; Ont.; pauses in work of levelling track surface yesterday. Track scored victory when Ontario Racing Commission rejected bid by Ontario Jockey Club for Sunday racing at winter Mohawk meeting. Proposal would have hurt Flamboro since two harness racing tracks are within 50 miles of each other.
