"The Kentucky HBPA filed for dismissal of the suit soon after Simpson's initial ruling. In a court filing on Aug. 2, Charles Pritchett Jr., a Louisville attorney representing the Choctaw group, said the two parties had met, along with the Oklahoma HBPA and officials from Remington Park, Oklahoma's largest track, in an attempt to resolve their differences.
During those discussions, the Kentucky HBPA offered a settlement demand that the Choctaw group "cannot accept as it would essentially would eliminate Plaintiff's already-thin profit margins," according to the filing. No settlement was reached. The Choctaw group said in the filing it would simply forego simulcasting races from Churchill Downs."

the Choctaws need to talk to Kirk Brooks rather than waste their time in Federal litigation. I sure hope the Choctaw Nation does not find Churchill Downs that impossible to deal with. Has anyone else had an unpleasant experience with Churchill Downs or are the Choctaws just acting a little peculiar?
