Thanks to 24-hour slot machines, 24-hour table games, and 24-hour poker we have quality racing here at PID.

The majority of the locals who bet over $40 a race won't even look at the cards here.

The racing only proves a lot better than people think here -- when the horses who race at PID go and clean up at Keeneland every year. The Stakes program is quite decent as well. The last 3 Breeders Cup Filly and Mare sprint winners all prepped here. Wise Dan won the big mile race last year.
