1Opinion of the Court

WIENER, Circuit Judge:

In this insurance coverage ease, we must decide whether an exclusion clause in a comprehensive general liability (CGL) policy issued by Plaintiff-Appellant United National Insurance Company (United) to Defendants Appellee Fair Grounds Corporation (FGC) applies to particular third-party property that was destroyed in a fire on FGC’s premises. Concluding that the third-party property in question does not fall within the purview of the “care, custody, or control” exclusion of the policy issued by United to FGC, we affirm.
