Grandstand hasn't been rebuilt yet.
As for the arrogance of why Ellis exists.....well I guess I won't dive into it, but Kentucky loves their horses.

You fail to realize that the track was opened in 1922. With very limited transportation, horsemen look for places to move their horses from and to in a local matter. Thats where you have 6 tracks that stretch from Cincinnati to St. Louis. You complain about the 90 degree weather with 95% humidity. I guess CD shouldn't be open then either or Cincy tracks, and Fairmount also. Should I include the Texas and Louisiana tracks also; Colonial Downs in VA? I guess 250,000+ in the area is not good enough to hold a track. Heck less than that use to hold a AAA ball club at one time.
Now for the reported losses. Maybe with this new ownership that Customer Service might actually might exist. Something that doesn't even exist at CD.

Sorry to step on your toes re: the Evansville area, but it is NOT anywhere as big as Cincinnati, St. Louis or Louisville, which house the tracks you said you thought I should've wanted to close.
There's too many damn tracks. Do we need Great Lakes Downs, Indiana Downs, Beulah and Fairmount? For the good of the game, we need less tracks, not more.

I gotta stand up for my home track here. Well, I am going to talk out of both sides of my mouth. We have 3 t-bred tracks in Ohio, one in each of the big 3 cities. Beulah Park is a very depressing place except for the Paddock area which is quite nice. It has been around for close to 100 years, I think the 1920's. I don't know, I just hate to see my home track go away. Improvements are needed no doubt.
This made no sense, what I just said. I just rambled. Quote:
