Ellis Park closing, now opening

[SniperSB23]

I don't get this. What possible reason is there for the horsemen to block the signal for Ellis Park? Their feud is with CDI. Why bring Ellis into it?

I think we bet Ellis every day last year at Saratoga. A real shame.

Yup, try to do something good by having a 4% takeout for a P4 and wind up shutdown the next year. Go figure.

The dispute is a national one not just with CDI. CDI has just made it worse than it needs to be by filing lawsuits as a delay tactic, refusing to negotiate, and cutting purses far beyond what was called for.

I assume you are aware that overnight purses at Calder were cut 20%.

And also that you are aware average daily total handle is down 72% at Calder from $2.7 million to about $750,000.

And yet you claim purse cuts are far beyond what was called for.

Please explain the math behind your claim.
