What they have done since closing the track is a PR nightmare, they look like a bunch of amateurs. This move today will do nothing but drive horsemen away, and you know that is true.

You’re wrong. Them not doing anything until the 21st horse died invited the media, PETA idiots, crazy cat ladies, etc to the open season that is horse racing.
Once it appeared on the national radar they had no choice to go into repair mode. The problem of course is they did not address the problem.
