Ellis Park to shut down simulcasting after Breeders Cup

http://www.courierpress.com/news/200...-cut-simulcas/

75 full and part-time employees get a big FU.

Diferent tracks = diferent problems. If Lone Star shut down the simocast they would lose there biggest draw and one of the biggest money makers

Ron Geary has been praised as being a savvy businessman. His fortune was made by sucking on the government teet of medicare.

His agenda was slowly but surely revealed to all in the past few years with the purchase of Ellis Park. He wanted slots. Period.

Now after the market crashed and he lost a substantial portion of his fortune he doesn't have the balls to risk more than 5 percent of it to keep 75 people employed. Let the government pay for the 5 months.

If the reports are true that he is worth 100 million..even half of that...then this story is troubling because he fed the media a bunch of bs about caring about his employees and customers. It's painfully obvious the only thing he cares about is money.

Nice call on all angles and I agree 100%.

Looks grim. Great chance for you to buy this place at a rock bottom price and run it your way.

PANTS PARK ... Play at your own risk.
