I was at Indiana Downs today. Huge renovation going on there including Hotel, Casino and Golf Course. Temporary Casino(monster, airplane hanger looking, tent ) is open and packed. When finished, 5k claimers will be running for 15k-20k purses. 50 min. drive from Cincy. Why would you run at RD for 4k purse. Ohio is Stupid !!!

Benny how are you going to drop into my backyard without letting me know? What indiana downs is doing slow wise, is pretty nice although the racebook itself has always been top notch for a small track. They just never had any patrons. They are really pushing slot players into trying horses, but I'm not sure how that is faring.

I hope it raises the level of purses and the level of horses. Go there on a typical weeknight and its 2 t-breds, two quarterhorses, a plow horse, 2 donkeys, a mule, and the outrider. Great atmosphere just horrible racing.

Returning from Indy when I saw the Temporary Casino tent. Couldn't resist stopping in for a few hours to check out what's going on there.
