Mr. D did that very thing, I forgot why he did it, but racing is more alive then ever around here now....

Can anyone explain to me why Thayer didn't get to vote? I met him and have talked with him on a couple occasions about some other stuff, and he is about as pro horse racing person as I have ever met
Apparently only when it's politically expedient for him to be so. He's done in my mind. And I will be happy to tell him to his face next time he's glad-handing Georgetown.

Mr. D shut down Arlington until the Legislature gave him tax relief and simulcasting. That was when Elgin got riverboat gambling, I think, and he wanted slots at Arlington.
