Off and on, I've spent 35 years between Turf Paradise and Greyhound park (old and new greyhound park).
The problem for both of them is ARIZONA.
The only state that would place their dog racing facility in a neighborhood where no one dares go (unarmed) after sunset -- then offer evening racing and no admission charge so every vagrant ends up using the place as a temporary domicile and sits around on the floor drinking from a bag. Similar to Port Authority bus station in NYC during the 60's.
The only state that has legalized horse racing (TUP) that does not allow ADW internet wagering.
One of the only states that does not allow casino action dove-tailed to racing facilities.
The only state that had a chance to add a new casino in the Westgate area next to the Cardinals football stadium and had it shot down by the governor -- and it would have added 6,000+ jobs when all said and done with the piggy back establishments.
It may be time for me to move back to CA.
