Was a regular at the track.
This is a real stunner on how it went down. You hear rumors all the time but thought we were good for this year.
Thing is the attendance at the track wasn’t a problem. Even last year they extended the meet by few weeks.
Knew about the infighting and how H&T wanted to get out of the game, but was hoping someone else would take over or the state would step in and protect all the jobs that will be lost (not just the 90 at the track but the 12k that support the industry).
We were never going to be big time with a 5/8 track, but I don’t think we would be able to complete with the big time tracks anyway. This was the best location for a track in Michigan, centrally located in the Detroit area. The other tracks that failed here were in smaller areas or built on the outskirts. The recent failure of Pinnacle track is gonna prevent anything new being built.
Now all we have here are a bunch of casinos.
