Major tuning of BEL & SAR stakes/purses

It really is a shame about Turfway and the state of racing in Kentucky. I actually like Turfway. IMHO it is a fantastic facility when you exclude the racing surface. When I was younger I always had a good time playing the races there.

I disagree with Chuck on the instant gaming machines not helping the purse structure. Sure Kentucky Downs is close to Nashville but it is still a one hour drive and they have made 40 million in the span of 6 months. Turfway making a fraction of that would help curb the purse reductions.

These degenerates will bet on anything. They'll get enough locals in there to play those modified slots.

If that as.shole David Williams wasn't running the Senate like his own little playground in this podunk state we would have a real casino at Turfway and we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I happen to like Turfway too. It's a dump, but a fun dump. The polytrack sucks but it's a great place to go drink beer and chase some longshots.
