I remember last year when Biancone started running a bunch there and I wondered if he was hard up for some quality horses or slipping down a notch, etc...

It just seems like it is really s hitty, and I'm not sure I would be thrilled about being up there if I were a trainer/owner.

About 6 or 7 years ago, it was a decent Fall meet, now they are the lowest of the low, I would rate River Downs in front of them. There were some nice horses that would ship in for the Kentucky Cup: Silver Charm, Thunder Gulch, Congaree, Caller One, Captain Steve, Point Given, Cash Run, Vindication, Alley's Ally etc...But no more, the place is a dump and would be better served being used for retail, which it will become in the next couple of years, the property is much more valuable than that piece of crap track that stands there...
