( how many tracks do these things and what else could be done better?) The track owns their (yes it mean possessiveness) own very large sand and gravel place.
The track also has a new housing area for horseman, a new building for mess hall , new tack shops. The track has places for horse to take showers.
The track just put $350,000 remodeling the buffet area even though it was perfect before renovations.
The track is doing a very good job with the property.

What goes on at Mountaineer at 6am? I rarely see published workouts, are there no horses working out at this place? Horses will come back off 3 and 4 month layoffs with one stray 3F drill in 41, is that enough to get a horse fit, or, are there more works that just got 'missed'?
