This years PID meet featured - on paper - a far more fascinating and far more interesting betting product than any other track in the country because of the high volume of shippers and tremendous complexity involved with handicapping so many of the races carded.
However, no one bets there.

Well said Calzone.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I heard PID has a very limited # of barns and living quarters for horsemen, etc (this place is a track connected to a casino, not the other way around lol)?
But a lot of horses get shipped in due to the nice slot $ fueled purses. And it's close enough to other tracks to make shipping in "do-able".
As far as people ignoring the place, it's new and they have really weird late afternoon post times. Isn't like tue, wed, fri, sat 4pm est? I think they get lost in the simulcast shuffle
