and the handle may be down-how much of that is due to almost constant disputes over wagering and signals. i heard on steves show the other day that january is down; coincidentally, january was when vegas lost some signals, wasn't it?

As Travis straightened me out, all gambling is down. Most everything is down in our country. That doesn't scream out to me that now is the time to invest millions into building up a racetrack. But it's not my money. People thought it was a dumb idea to build another racetrack in Dallas though.
