Then why is Steve Wyn worried?

I can't imagine horses would like Las Vegas weather.....it would have to be winter season or spring for sure if it ever happened

How about the old Birmingham track with legalized gaming and a mega hotel?I know the track didnt last long but with Wynne,legalized gaming and a mega hotel. Couldnt a set-up like this provide a short season with top quality racing?Keenland type meet. With the trouble that the horsmen are having with the lawmakers in Ky couldnt something like this make sense. Of course you need the lawmakers in Ala or another state to help, and that dosent happen very often.

Let's not mention the track in Vegas being in the most corrupt city in the country.

I think that is why there aren't any out there.

Can you imagine horses staying in stalls in the summer...
It would have to be totally enclosed, hotter than hell.


Dont many/most tracks keep their stalls for "rent" all year
round? Partial use of the facilities anyway.
