It wasn't a surprise, but the reasoning is ridiculous.

It looks like the second most depressing track on television next to Finger Lakes. The scenery is just god awful.

I've lived in the cities of both places and been to both many times. Philly Park is dreadful. The racing isn't terrible, especially now, but the atmosphere sucks. The scenery is... well, there isn't any.

Finger Lakes has potential. They just don't really care much about the racing, especially now with the slots. Think Turfway, with slots.
