If it were me I would close the place down and open a new top of the line racing facility and casino in someplace like New Bedford. Or do the same at the Rock but that might not fly because the NH Gov is against gambling.

ahem....its now 2013. What tunnel traffic ? There is none. The big dig worked. when you leave suffolk you're home in 15 minutes unless you're a half hour away, in which case it's 20 minutes.
A racing facility in New Beige ? next joke, not sure portuguese fishing towns 90 minutes from Boston are the location for a racing facility.
Amazingly enough a casino didn't pass in East Boston (home of the degenerate gambler) where everybody bets.
They promised everyone a job. It was supposed to be a shoo-in. What guys like me found out was that it wasn't like the old days when East Boston was all Italian and everyone wanted to work. Apparently the new citizens don't follow "The Lord loves a workin man creed" so now it's 4000 jobs down the drain. No more hoss racing. Mr. James Mosely (A Phenomenon ) would be very disappointed after all he did to revive racing in Mass. I'm flabergasted
