I would love to hear someone explain the reasons this place exists:

Sunday, 6/8
Presque Isle Downs
Total Purses: $170,000
Total Handle: $166,000 ($29,000 on track)
Total Attendence: 913

They ran 3 open ALW races. Two of the races drew 4 horse fields and had win pools of $4,000-$5,000.

The ony thing these slot tracks do is create welfare for horsepeople. And rob real racetracks of decent horses to run in competitive full field races.

Pretty hard to argue against the idea that there are too many race tracks running too many bad races for too many bad horses.
