Let's see if this works, but I just took this photo from the booth here at LAD. Notice the massive pool sizes as wagering just opened for our fifth race.



My booth is another 10-15 feet before where those green bushes start inside the rail, so it really makes the outside horse look like he's farther ahead of the inside horse everytime. I think in today's fourth race I was a bit off with this... the outside horse looked like he was home first, but in reality, the inside horse held on.

Question

Travis, seeing your photo of LA Downs fine dirt/turf courses reminded me of a curiousity you may or may not know the answer to. Will EVDs turf course, which has been under construction for years, be operational for this upcoming season?
