I think it is going to be a booming place, and that there will be some money to be made up there. Nice purses will draw in some quality horses.

I am definately looking forward to the opening up there...

doesn't look like they have turf

No, they have Polytrack, or one of those other synthetics. Think the Dickinson surface

Yes, the track has the Tapeta surface (Michael Dickinson's surface).

Does anyone know who will be there -- trainers, jocks, etc.? I'd like to see what the condition book looks like -- however, based upon the geographics, potential quality of racing, surrounding areas, etc., there might be a great racing opportunities.

Well at least we know Cannon Shell will be there. He's already salivating over the big maiden purses.

If I'm driving, it's 5!

Was in Cleveland this weekend. Left last night at 6:20 and made it to the city at 12:20. 460 miles...
