The original poster has clearly never been to Hollywood Park or Churchill either then. Wander a few blocks off the premises on a non-Derby day at CD and see where that gets you.

The problem isn't Baltimore or Pimlico, it's Maryland racing which has become strictly second class due to the voters refusal to allow casinos at the tracks. I'm not a fan of casino gambling but it's obvious when you are surrounded by states which allow same and you don't...that's a problem. Various religious right groups have chosen Maryland to make their stand and thus far, they have succeeded.

The voters weren't the reason Laurel didn't get slots - that was purely Stronach's fault when he didn't put up the $$'s to pay for the licensing fee.

All he had to do was cough up the fee and slots were his at Laurel.

I was told on here not to walk from the French Quarter to the Fairgrounds during the day. I think some people are a bit too paranoid.

At night is a different story of course.
