Well, one thing our city is definetly supporting is the Blue Jackets!

Good point about the proximity to Churchill and Keeneland. I'll be tickled to death if they boost River Downs, especially considering the turf. I just honestly want them, if nothing else, to spruce up this dump Beulah. A coat of fresh paint and an upgade on the bathrooms would be a great start.

One small thought I just had, do you think the proximity of the casinos across the state line in Indiana might affect their deciding to put a casino at the track?

Cincinnat is right on the border of Kentucky with Keeneland and Churchill only an hour and a half away, it would be a better shipping situation and some of the 2nd tier horses from there would come to RD. They already run those stupid 7 and 7's with Beulah or Thistle, those are rediculous, if you can't support the card alone, bring all of the horses to one spot, and River Downs is the better of all three of them, plus they have a Turf Course.
