I would appreciate it if they would at least allow for some volume on the simo of major out of town races like the Haskell and the Pacific Classic. Would it kill them to announce that it was 10 minutes to post for the Arlington Million?
A small simo center with volume control for the TV's would be great. On days when there are alot of out of town stakes, I try to catch them if I can but always miss a few.

You just described Keeneland to a "T". Except at Keeneland,the locals are there only for the liquor.They really don't care about the racing,it's just a place to be "seen" and get loaded.This could explain why the slots vote got shot down by the Lexington senator,other than the fact that she is an idiot.
Keeneland packs up all the private desks and carrols,drops the signals from most tracks during their meet(I was really PISSED when I couldn't bet Tampa)and jacks up the prices for everything.It's amazing that HANA voted this track #1,because it really sucks to even try to bet at this track.And the live product,in my opinion,has gone down the toilet.(There should not be claiming races at all.)
