I fully realize that hurts the horsemen and the tracks, which is the last thing that I really want to do, since they are the ones who make this game possible...

Right now everyone is probably suggesting we move to a different state. Wil Rogers Downs probably would be dark if it were not for the Cherokee Nation and their casino under the grandstand.
