I think the new owner is in over his head. To buy from a competitor is foolish, IMO. Basically what the meet is going to be is a Fairmount-Indiana Downs shipper extravaganza. Yeah that ought to get the handle up.

I guess its all about your perspective then. Barns renovated and freshly painted, brand new quarters for the back side help to live in, claiming crown, etc is all good for the sport and the people who work in the sport. With Churchill Downs Trackside closing for the summer there are several of those trainers taking a string of horses down to Ellis instead of going to CD. The fields so far in the first three entry days are strong.

Half empty or half full? The guy is trying and you cannot fault him for that even if you think he is in over his head
