Doesn't MJC run the Colonial Downs meet? That was the genesis of my Virginia racing is an offshoot of Maryland racing comment in the first place. Ergo, if Virginia racing stinks - and it mostly does unless we're talking hurdles - MJC has at least something to do with that.

Anyway, I think Kegasus is great. Desperate times call for desperate measures. And there's no state more desperate today in so far as horse racing goes than the state of Maryland.

MJC hasn't run the CNL meet for years - don't know the exact timeframe it occurred but I think it's been about 5 years since Jacobs bought out the MJC contract.

I don't think Colonial has improved under the new management team......and 5 years is long enough to get things straightened out.
