Default Legislative antics in FloriDUH: Hialeah, nighttime racing, etc.

Nothing is final yet (that will probably be tomorrow), but Hialeah may be back as a quarterhorse track. And, finally (!!!), nighttime thoroughbred racing may be allowed.

Very bad deal for Tampa Bay Downs, one of the few shining star racetracks these days.

I'd say 100 years from now if America is still standing that there will be african-american tribes running casinos...the whole 40 acres and a mule thing.

It's just ridiculous how generations that had no responsibility personally with the past have to cater to these thieves. They are nothing more than filthy rich welfare cases with no pride.
