It's simple if you are working in the industry (Racing) you want what your competition has (slots). I understand the basic concept that it is impossible to compete without a level playing ground. We should take heed in the truth which is the most successful meets Delmar and Saratoga do not require slots to be rewarding to all parties involved.
Slots can never save racing..the only thing that can save racing is good minds making hard choices about how much to race and when to race.. Magna or no Magna those decisions have to be implemented. Once they are nature can take its course and the sport can find a healthy foundation on which to potentially grow again. Having Preques Isle as the new hot bed for racing is comical. Mind you I am currently looking to claim something and race there I know in my heart the place is out of business in 10 years.
