Leaving the writer's personal biases aside, it extols the virtues of Oaklawn, as if they have come up with some secret recipe for long-term success. Yes, item #1 on the checklist is "Start a highly successful alternative gaming operation."

Oaklawn is a neat track and a fun place to visit, but they are hardly a "shining star" when they are often the 4th or 5th highest handling track on a Saturday this time of year. They also have no regard for post time management, a woeful graphics package and don't use Trakus. A racetrack with purses that size should be able to put in Trakus, especially given the length of their meet.
