good god. Pimlico, is going to be fine with the boutique meet they have now. They were in the black last year. Laurel, lost 6 million dollars, in basically 7 months.

Seriously, this can't go on for much longer. I know we are for jobs and all but.. I mean, 6.9 million dollars? a year.

Wow, wonder who's idea it was to change the infield policy at Pimlico for those couple of years. Looks like that one idea cost them millions of dollars......

If I remember the local news story from last week, Pimlico made a whopping profit of approx. $20,000. What I can't understand is how LP loses money when the place is pretty crowded on the Saturdays that I attend.

If it weren't for the two big days at Pimlico, the entire operation would be in the RED.

In the fine print, it says that the bonus will be paid out at the rate of one dollar a year for the next 5.5 million years...
