I don't believe this will help the horse industry in any way, and besides, the holy rollers are finished fighting yet.

If the Ohio pols work anywhere near the way the MD pols do, don't expect much to happen anytime soon. A full year after slots were approved by the MD voters, a whopping 2300 machines have been licensed in MD.

Once the facilities are up and running, that should add an average of $87.50 to each purse.....

This wasn't a vote for slots at tracks, this was for full blown casinos in , i think, 5 big cities.
Horses are not in play.
