Default Churchill to try out Night Racing
Churchill Downs will have night racing on Fri June 19th; Fri Jun 26th; and Thursday July 2nd. They're going to rent the lights and see how fans react. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I don't think it's an April Fool's joke. They've been talking about it for a while.

It's an April Fools. When was the last time Churchill had a good idea and implemented it?

Come on. Really.

This would seem to be at least a bit better idea than the Matrix or the Over/Under.

Why not? It sounds like a solid idea.


Connelly came across well.

It is indeed not a joke. I heard it on HRTV today as well.
