Maybe I am wrong -- and some of the locals can give more qualified and experienced opinions -- I haven't been to Delaware Park since last year, and being that I didn't race there a lot last year I didn't follow the racing as closely, read the book, etc. however, Delaware seems to be accomplishing a great deal.

I can't speak directly to field size, however, the racing did seem very competitive. There was no easy walk in the park, LOL. Good purse structure -- not any of the crazy #'s that the industry hears about when trying to get slots, but that may not be reality. Is this a case of slot revenue being re-invested back into the racing side of the game? Very unlike Finger Lakes. Pouring slot revenue back into the frontside of the facility, and the backside, is crucial to the future of our sport and our industry.

I'd like to see what happens to purse structure moving forward, but maybe this is moving in the right direction.
