A couple of thoughts re Delta Downs:
1) Horsemen prefer to race during the day. No fun having one in the last going off at 11 PM when you're due back at the barn at 4:30 AM. I think they're in no hurry to get the lights back.
2) We saw a lot of tracks with delayed openings due to COVID shorten their season. DD is still racing their allowed 84 days, going into April this year (normally end in February). That's a promising thing to me.
I went down for the first two days of the meet. It was my first time at Delta Downs. I enjoyed the racing - and the on-site hotel was great (if a little pricey - we'll see if my play gets me a room offer in the future). Still a lot of devastation in the area from Hurricane Laura. Vinton is a small town that got a little smaller.
