Slot machines at racetracks allow bad racing management to survive.

How can you say the revenue does not go to improve racing?Did you not read the article?They are redoing their dirt surface! Just because they are not installing Polycrap,you think this is bad?This is not some sort of "band aid"as you state.I think it is great that they are not jumping to polycrap or cushioncrap just because of some breakdowns.Horses break down on ALL surfaces.Prairie Meadows is one of the best managed tracks in the country and I think they know what they are doing
