They are open for slots regardless.

Delaware is a beautiful track and a great place to spend the day. That being said, I have to wonder how much they are now falling victim to their specific years old program of essentially running a closed club for the few trainers that populated the place. They have basically discouraged outsiders, denying stalls or awarding few stalls to some who wanted to race there, in an attempt to distribute the purses to a very few. Many believe this was a somewhat backroom deal to appease the local horsemen so that they would not campaign for a bigger or better cut of the slot dollars through purses.

You reap what you sow.
