They are guarding the backside like it's Fort Knox - loaded with nothing but Gold bars.
Or, as one trainer put it, "like Hitler's prison camp." In order for the press to get on the backside, they must be accompanied by a Presque Isle Downs offical at all times. It's pretty amusing that they're standing over your shoulder and watching your every move.... It's not amusing when you have to wait for an offical to be ready to take you back there. I have no idea what they have to gain by making it as miserable as possible for the press to do their job. However, I'm sure that is their plan.

I read people are plowing 4 million a day through the slots there. Is there actually a Presque Isle?

I walked right in via the path to the paddock. Wasn't much to see. I guess they forgot to put a guard there.
I would guess that Mountaineer will put as much thought and effort into the racing as they do at home. Which would be not much. The sole reason there is racing there is it is required to get the slot $ and they do a poor job of hiding it. It is laughable that the Williams woman defends Mountaineer's backside in the recent Bloodhorse Chat. It is easily the worst in the country outside of Suffolk.
