Sam Houston Down to 3 days a week?
I just noticed that Sam Houston went to 3 days a week for January (Thurs-Sat).. That's disappointing..

No ... I could pick him out in a bar, but have only spoken a few times (he certainly doesn't remember me).

oh... Just wondering.. Cuz i've traded a few e-mails with him in reference to a Horse I liked that shipped in From Keeneland to run there... and you really could'nt ask for a nicer guy... Real Good guy... Top notch horseplayer. You should send him over a beer if and when you see him at the local watering hole. Not a bad guy to have on your side down there.

3 good cards a week with big fields is better than 4 mediocre cards a week.

Can't argue with that, I'm sure most of those races will be 12 horse affairs. Gotta Love That !!!

I don't count DED as a real track, its just a crappy bullring.

GR1,
That would be Evangeline, my friend. They broke ground on the new track in the Parrish down the road from the present track, according to a nola.com poster. S.b up'n runnin' in 2004 or 2005.
Wave bye- bye to our large fields at Lone Star after this season.

That is great news. I bet EVD in the summer. Due to my work & family schedule the majority of my action is EVD, HOU, LS , RET.
I love these tracks.
I wish CT & DED would invest some of their slot revenue and rebuild those Bull Rings.

DeD is talking about rebuilding the surface to be a mile oval. Takes the fog stop out of a mile race. 
Do you remember Jefferson Downs? I believe it was 1/8 shorter than DeD. They'd have marathons there, six and seven turn races!! The camera sat up high, so it looked like a cockroach race. You had to pay close attention to know which lap was the last.
