![]() Looks like Beulah and River Downs will be the next two tracks to fall. Bloodhorse is reporting that they have both only requested very short QH meets next year. This was my fear all along when the slot Amendment failed in 2006.
I have never been to River Downs, but Beulah is a great little track, and there will be a few that will miss it. |

![]() I believe there is another gambling issue in the works for this year in Ohio.
While the quality of the River is not great, I've always enjoyed the atmosphere.

![]() Unfortunately, the gambling issue in OH will probably not get passed (mom and dad are voting in favor of it).
Also, there is a consideration that will convert Cooper Stadium (where the AAA baseball team plays now, but is getting a new stadium next year) into a horse track. If they do that, then Beulah will go and get upgraded to the new facility. |

![]() This news makes me think my home track (Remington) may not be around too much longer. Got slots a few years ago, but haven't seen purses go up much.

I always thought they missed the boat not having night racing, especially considering how muggy Cincy summers can be.

These small tracks are not rubbish, but provide the same jobs, training and livelihood for many people. I remenber Steve Cauthen riding his first full meet at River downs 1976, and it and Beulah are small very charming tracks.If you are a true horseracing fan then any track closing is not good for the whole game. I bet the small tracks and do just as well as the big tracks. besides their money is the color green to. And i bet if you took away on video the track name the posted fractions, you could not tell if you was watching a grade 1 or 5,000 claimers. They have exciting races too, just slower. |

Well maybe you can, but tell me how you can tell the difference, if you didn't know the jockeys on the horses no track name no fractional times just a generic screen how can you tell if it was a cheap claimer or a stakes race I've watch horse races for 33 years and doubt if I could. Im very interested how you can tell difference on the video |
