That is great news. I can honestly tell you that racing was dying a slow painful death in Louisiana before the casinos. We have QH's and a top level allowance race was running w/ a pure of 5k, and now they are between 20-25k. Heck even low level claimers are running for 20k. It has really saved racing here. It is now worth it, and you can make money running horses down here.

Its just a shame that the horse racing industry has to rely on the casinos to survive. Maybe they should go take a look at how the casino patrons get taken care of, that might have something to do with why they are prospering.

The casinos don't take care of you up here, they just take your money
