If you go to Horseshoe Indiana on any day, half of the plates are Kentucky if not more, just like back before PA had slots 40% of the plates in AC were Pennsylvania. I'm in Pittsburgh today and Mountaineer is getting waxed because the Meadows has slots, Wheeling Island has improved their facility, and there's a new casino set to open in downtown Pittsburgh in August. There's less people willing to drive the extra 15 minutes to play at a generally dumpy facility. Same thing applies in Kentucky.

So I guess the horses will be waxed soon enough at Mountainer, then PID then Yonkers.. It's over..People are fighting for 24 month shot in the arm.. It's like a shot of cortisone in your shoulder. It lasts a few months then you still need the surgery
