But when your in the middle of nowhere as they were when they opened and still to this day are ,with few accomidations to those who might even think about bringing horses here, you get stuck with an inferior product in Md racing at colonial,with a few other obscure castoffs from the likes of Suffolk, Hoisier wich is worst junk than Md. The only hope Va Racing has at this time is Md racings problem, Md state will NOT allow slots and they are as good as dead untill they do . so for other than 2-3 races a meet we watch shiat on a great grass, and I mean superb grass course. Such a WASTE it is!

Well stated...and I agree 100%. I'm guessing when CD first opened they needed that dependence upon other Mid-Atantic race venues. I too would love to see them gradually rely less and less on the Maryland racing circuit. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge required to make any reasonable recommendations...not that anyone would listen to me if I did...
