![]() The buzz is Sam Houston will be done rather shortly.....why the freaken Texas people just want to send the slot Money to Louisiana is beyond me.
Even if it passes in the next round, it could be too late. |

![]() Have you been there lately? Pretty much a ghost town most of the time.
(4th of July was packed though ![]() I just am afraid the the purses being as they are, aren't enough to keep the track going. They have what? One Graded race (III) Connally Cup. 45 live racing days a year split between the Thoroughbreds and the Quarters. ![]() This is a quote from the track President Andrea Young: "We wish to thank the Texas Horsemen’s Partnership as well as the various breed registries for their hard work during the process of allocating race dates this year. It is no secret that this is a difficult time for racing fans in Texas. Texas race tracks and horsemen are facing intense competition from our surrounding states, all of which offer purses supplemented by slot machines at their race tracks. We feel the way we have structured this meet will give us the best shot at survival in the short term.” I hope it does'nt close, but so far I don't see anything happening here in Texas to change it from being a very good probability in the next 5 yrs, let alone 10. |
