I honestly dont think they really care about improving their racing. They used racing as a vehicle to slots to line their pockets. Soon they will be pushing for card tables, etc etc. Racing is going to become secondary to Gulf.

If the attendance at the Hard Rock Casino in Miami is any indication how slots will do at Gulfstream, I do look for attendance to be up a great deal. Not sure what they are going to do with the money, they do have to pay for the "upgrade". I am hoping they will do the right thing and make Gulfstream a track that everyone wants to visit. I think it may take more than a year or two (maybe 5 to 10 years), but I think it will eventually be good for the racing and the horses. Meaning the $$$ will trickle down to the good of the racing eventually.
