FIRESTONES BUY $90 MILLION TRACK

Thoroughbred horse breeders and owners Bertram and Diana Firestone concluded their purchase of Gulfstream Park on Saturday from the family of the race track's founder for $97 million.

The deal with Doug Donn, grandson of the late James Donn, Sr., who founded the track in 1944, also includes the sale of the 75-year-old chain of Exotic Gardens florists shops to Ray and Bonnie Jones, according to a statement released by Gulfstream.
