Default Presque Isle Downs slogan contest!

As Doug points out, Saratoga is 'the Summer Place to Be' and Santa Anita 'the Great Race Place', while Monmouth offers 'Fast Times on the Jersey Shore' and Del Mar is where 'the Turf Meets the Surf'....

Presque Isle Downs needs an identity! A moniker that stands the test of time and places it appropriately in the pantheon of great racing ovals. Let's help generate the enthusiasm for "PID" and its' upcoming season with a contest to offer Western Pennsylvania's best racetrack a slogan!


Some ideas to help you get started...


"Presque Isle... So much fun it's Erie"


"Making Exit 27 better than ever..."

When I hear of "PID", I still think of this slut-o-centric ailment:

The current slogan they are using is "We Are Slots!"

They have it everywhere ... even on the bottom right of the websites racing schedule ..

Obviously a genius play on the 'We Are Penn State!' chant - with the intent of luring in Beavis and Butthead.
