Very much agree...

The races thought to be "protected" from Indiana racing, N1X and up allowances, trainers were definitely taking horses to Indiana Downs to run for $35K on real dirt rather than $50K on poly. Turf races haven't been hurt as bad (yet), although a few N2X or AOC types went to Indiana Downs overnight stakes races instead.


Great article Citycat, by the way.
