I, for one, would love to see Colonial sell and close. It is a beautiful track that, as we all are well aware, is in a terrible location.

They run a couple nice grass races there, but the rest of them really aren't much. I don't get very excited about cheap claimers on the turf, unless I own one that I can't figure out so I send him to Colonial in one last desperate attempt.

Their daily purses are crap. They hurt racing at Delpark, and soon will hurt MD if they start their season too early.

I say close Colonial, then close Laurel during the winter and replace those days with a summer turf meet. I mean, that's why Laurel re-did their turf course - to run turf races, right? Can't run the turf in the dead of winter.....
