Yes, it is in trouble in Ohio. The state (aka the Columbus Dispatch) views the horse racing industry as something that they would be happy to see die on the vine.
MTR would probably like sell Scioto Downs for a huge loss if there were any takers.
In 10 years I only see Northfield and the county fairs left. The purses at the fairs will be much lower as they are subsidized by the betting at the Tbred tracks who are in similar trouble.
