I hope they do too. I believe they have a new racing secretary so maybe they will be open to more of these special cards. At least make the sprint festival an annual event....although they must have taken a bath on it. I believe the mutuel pool for the feature was only 58k. Tough to give away 200k in prize money with so little in the pool even with the casino funding it. On the other hand it was a very big crowd and there must have been more people than they were planning for considering they ran out of programs before the first race and were running out of food.
