I have presented you with 2 articles that say slots are going to happen and increase purses at GP. Were the He!! is your facts that say that this is not going to happen. All I See is your opinion. And by trying to Implemement Slots Revolution is right saying GP is trying to go in the right Direction.

And here's the problem Round Pen. Saying something might happen some day doesnt carry the weight of what past performances and what is happening does.
Now look, I agree that slots will help Gulf's purses in theory. But noone yet has shown me any formal announcement stating that its definitely going to happen and how much they will be raised. Nor has anyone announced an increase in the number of allowance and msw's that are going to be run.
If you wanna play someday someday, Philly Park is eventually going to have huge purses and be completely revived as a racetrack. I can show you articles on that like the ones you showed me about Gulf.
But the last time I checked, Philly's purses and the class of horse running there is pathetic.
All I stated was that I spoke to several guys who were disenchanted with purses at Gulf and the lack of quality races. One of them is an owner who posts here, who may soon have a say in that very situation.
If you look at the last two meets at Gulf, they were pathetic in terms of race quality and purses. You've showed me one vague article and I'm saying that nothing in that article tells me that its going to change this meet. And I'm betting its the same deal this year as the last two years down there, small purses and more claiming races than you can shake a stick at.
