I knew it was coming, but thanks for the news backer, I am in a state of depression. I just called my bro-in-law who I always go with to tell him Tuesday was the last day, and my sister tells me he is on his way there right now, and I am stuck in East Lansing.

Lotta rumors about LS on the blocks too. The simo pavilion is a cash cow but Magna has let the live meet go . I just wish some of the horsemen in this area could get Mark Cuban involved and buy this place. He is the kind of owner that gets things done. The TB industry could probably learn a lot of things from his abiliy to market and promote a product. The various govt, control could be his short comming but he also the type that could help get them all working to gether.

Any chance they go back to a standard bred track at GLD? At least that would keep an simulcasting outlet open on the west side of the state after they open the TB track near the Detroit Airport.

You folks in Western Michigan are stuck now in no-where-land. It's a shame. Long way to drive to bet a horse race.

The teller girls are saying the doors are going to be open until Dec 31st but I think that's what they want everyone to think. I hate how Campbell went to them for a lease agreement they spit in his face. I hope they have to keep it until it falls down before someone buys it. Like I said some money is better than no money. Oh well maybe now I can start that book I said i was going to write now. Or better yet start doing drugs then write a book. Winter in Michigan sucks and now no OTB to spend them cold Sundays betting. No phone betting here in Michigan.
