The potential for this market is unlike any other. The plant would allow for one of the state's largest casinos as well as have the draw of world class racing.
What is unforgivable is that CDI is only interested in horse racing 2 days a year. They got the local horsemen for years to accept concessions with the promise of future purse increases once the racetracks could have house casinos. What did CDI do? They refused to even apply for a casino license.
The gutless media that covers this sport needs to expose this organization for what it is.
This is not like Hollywood or Calder where there was a world class facility in the same town. Hawthorne is a dramatic step down in all aspects from Arlington.
Churchill needs to be held accountable and make this situation right for the horsemen.
