Here comes Frank, riding the white horse, wearing the white hat to "save" MD racing from the bad guy Tom Chuckas.
Now the question is, will the MD horsemen, led by the roll-over king Richard Hoffberger, fall for Franks crap again? I don't believe for a minute that the statements made by Chuckas just before and after the slots vote, originated in the office, or mind, of Chuckas. Magna has got to go!!!

I'd still bet dollars to dougnuts that Laurel will close in the very near future.

Less horses, less money bet, less racing.
Slots is competition long term and not helpful.

And now Penn National weighs in.....
http://www.baltimoresun.com/business...,5252183.story Could this be the opening for Penn National to now jump out of their ownership deal with Frank for half of Laurel and Pimlico? Could this be headed the same way as when Penn National bought Rosecroft Raceway (harness) a few years ago because they wanted to restore harness racing in MD to its former glory regardless whether slots were placed at Rosecroft of not? But when it was decided no slots would go to Rosecroft, Penn National dove out of the deal quicker than a pelican dives into a school of fish. I'd be shocked for find out Penn National doesn't want to own a racetrack......

Why is PNG the bad guy here? Seems to me like they've done some pretty darn good stuff at CT and PEN in the last 10 years.

Like what?
They built a nice casino at CT and shoved all of the horse bettors into a little cave under the grandstand. They haven't touched the grandstand seating area or the second floor in back of the grandstand. Have they upgraded the rear projection box tv's for simulcast on the second floor? Someone with more knowledge than me might be able to tell us how they've done in the barn area.....
