Have you been in their parking lot? More Texas plates than Louisiana ones. Easy to spot too. Texas uses front and rear plates.

Delta Downs and Louisiana Downs would both cease to exist without Texas patrons. Key demographic. Neither is dependent on someone showing up from New Orleans (3-1/2 hours away). Lafayette is 100 miles away while center of Houston is 120 miles away. Still think more Louisiana bettors than Texas ones?
