Patrick..
Not all all.. Should have gotten to it last week but lost that travel day. As Bill explained, there isn't anything that can stop this from happening given the way it's being attached to the Seminole compact. Will be interesting to see the movement out of this including CDI certainly extricating themselves from Calder completely. Unless TSG (Stronach) buys the oval to run, it would seem that Hialeah becomes the viable place to run some dates to give the Hallandale turf a freshening.

Very strongly worded piece from Nancy Smith in response to step one of the FL legislature's handiwork with this..
http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/sto...threw-you-away Florida horsemen are screwed. Only a miracle can save the $1.2 billion Florida horse racing industry they represent. Not a single savior emerged Tuesday. The House Regulatory Affairs Committee quick-marched forward three bills in its revised gambling legislation, with only a handful of objections. In fact, not even one of the three lawmakers voting against the pari-mutuels bill (PCB RAC 16-02) did so because they want to preserve horse racing -- an economic engine that breathes life into hundreds of thousands of rural Florida families.
