With no other tbred racing in state they could probably get any and all the dates they want. They ralize there niche and use there dates and promote them as a big sporting event and reap the rewards of gambling. Do you ever hear them whinning about needing more days like most other venues. Travis I hate to say this but its true. LAD is just a gambling venue that has late spring and summer racing. I fell for racing with Don Howard,Larry Snyder,ayoung CalvinBorel,Ronnie Ardowin and the likes of craker Walker. I loved it there. No full cardn simo. Generaly one big race a week end simoed. People in the grandstand. Now days you can unload an uzi in the grandstand and couldnt hurt anyone Live attendance makes attending fun.

So you're saying Louisiana Downs would like to run more dates?

they run way too many. Part of the problem. La bred bonus is a big draw for them. Lone star and Texas initialy hurt LAD but they countered with the casinos and inhancing the la bred enhancemends and Texas is becoming nothing more than a simocast parlor. Lone Star just finished a upgrade of the simo pavilion and it is the life blood for Lone Star. Breeders are moving to La because of the casino $$$$$$$$$. Even with the pitiful Ak breed racing Oaklawn takes there product and still draws the crowds.
