I was feeling initially the same but I think it would be prudent to wait until Delaware gets a chance fill it's barns with the typical influx of Florida horses that come north to spring in Newark/Wilmington then to summer toward Saratoga and the other surrounding meets.

The vibe (gossip) at the track has been that the guy writing races has irritated the horsemen to such an extent that long standing high volume trainers are initially staying away.

Delaware Park is a much better facility than anything Maryland has and the simulcast area added last year is one of the best in the country. The problem is "Gulfstream" disease where the management has forgotten that a successful raceino requires that you actually have horses willing to run there.

I am hopeful it gets straightened out as this track actually has far more racing fans that frequent it than Laurel would ever have.
