wow! not good for Gulfstream or the paper.
i love this comment about the Sun-Sentinel, it sure sounds like the wrong approach for a newspaper. Although it must be hard to be in the newspaper business these days. "The Sun-Sentinel's circulation has plummeted lately. At the same time, the paper is undergoing what its management calls "transformative change." To some degree, this entails blending reporting with advertising and marketing. The idea is to better serve advertising clients as well as readers, even as readers fall away. Traditionally, reporting has been kept strictly separate from the interests of advertisers"

I was in the neighborhood and stopped at Gulfstream a couple weeks ago around 4pm to pick up the DRF for the next day. I walked around a bit and there were exactly 12 people playing slot machines. They all looked a bit like Stronach.
Oh, yeah... they didn't have the next day's Form. On the bright side, Gulfstream's Holloween Party hosted by Dennis Rodman was quite the event.

Thought I had read that the avg take from these machines at GP was in the neighborhood of 70.00 a day.... subtract the million bucks a month of comped "funny money" and they are probably operating close to zero net...

Is the 60% tax, A tax on Net or gross? either way any left over sure looks like a small bit that will be left to prop up the horses.Another example of the unsoundness of th TB industry promoting compition for the gaming dollar.

On the way out my friend pointed out the place where we used to hang out on the grass ( it is a construction site now )
Used to be such a beautiful place to take in the scenery, weather and racing. Now it's a money sucking hole. There is no way they stay in business much longer

You seen the first Gulfstream condition book? They're carding Florida-bred only races and, yes, $12.5 maiden claimers. I'm guessing those are give-backs from the new simulcast deal.
