Maryland is out of money basically...no slot revenue coming in, states surrounding it like WV, PA, DE all have slots, so most horses head for those bigger purses.

The MJC feels that spreading $500k to an outsider on one race isnt justified, and spreading that cash into the overnight purses for the local horseman is the route to go. Tough to disagree with them.

Sadly, this is the reality in Maryland now a days.
