Sadly the profit sharing under the current slots deal will not get the purses to an adequate level from what I understand.
I will be more interested in your thoughts on the new Gulfstream once you've actually been there. I have no argument that in all fairness one should wait until it's a finished product. Sadly, for me, the veranda for viewing the paddock while getting sun is gone forever. As is the relaxing grassy areas surrounding the paddock ( there is no grass in the plant save the infield ). I will always miss the eating area around the cafe connected to the jockey's room.
I regret that in all likelihood I won't be going down to the Miami area during future winters to enjoy my obsession. Luckily, however, Magna has not purchased South Beach......... yet.
