Go To Prairie Meadows Before It's Too Late

[-BT-]

I'm not sure how Charles Town is doing in regards to racing revenues, but even with the increased purses it doesn't seem like they're catering at all to their horse fans. I was there for the 1st time in about a year and half on saturday, and the only thing that has changed is that the racing portion of the track is getting smaller while the slot parlors are getting bigger. Less tellers and a hell of a lot more machines. There is zero way of getting into the track unless you cross the slot parlors some where. You have to go into the slot parlor for any sort of decent food.... the racing industry is getting fueled by slot money, but they're looking at the racing fan like he's a shmuck. I also over heard an employee talking about Charles Town will be simulcasting Australia on christmas day in order to keep the slots a run'n.

I just think once you make that jump to the slots then management sole purpose is to have people pump those machines and the only way they can is if the horses are running. Interested to see when MD gets there.... as if they needed more crime
