While KY and MD continue to cancel graded stakes and cut out dates, Charles Town can offer a million dollar race in the spring and have enough purse money to run 235 days a year. I wonder what would cause such a dramatic turn around at a track that nearly closed down 15 years ago?
In other news, I plan on checking out the 85 new table games and 27 table poker room at CT this weekend. I am sure that the 5000 slot machines and the turnaround in racing, purses and jobs at CT are just a coincidence.
