It increased only because they had less cancellations, also the Winter of 2004-2005 was bad, so they missed alot of days that year, massive snowstorm(for Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky hit that year), so the increase is due only to weather related, not because of the business model, I have said this many times...Also, the property that Turfway sits on is very valuable for retail, it sits right off of I-75 and many people are moving out that way, once this Poly-Track fails miserably, they will be a Super Wal-Mart in less than 5 years...
