Where is this mystery 300-acre site where a horse racetrack may be built?

There have been baby steps so far. But the people hoping to build a horse racetrack here believe those tiny steps one day will combine to move Marion County a huge way forward in terms of economic power, visibility and popularity. The latest step came on Oct. 28, when the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners Association (FTBOA) and Gilligan Racing LLC, its exclusive racetrack development partner, announced they have secured control of more than 300 acres on which to build a horse racetrack in Marion. They haven't said where the land is located – yet. They say only that the location will be announced "in the near future." Still, "the site marks a key advancement" in the effort "to bring a premier racing and entertainment destination to Ocala," a news release says. "The property was selected for its size, topography and accessibility," the release says. "Preliminary plans call for championship-caliber dirt and turf courses, modern grandstand and hospitality facilities, and dining, entertainment and event venues designed to operate year-round." Attorney John Morgan, founder of the Morgan & Morgan law firm, is a partner in Gilligan Racing. So is Philip Levine, former mayor of Miami Beach and a cruise industry entrepreneur.
