With little to no humidity I should point out.

And little to no rain from April to June, which is probably the main issue with the cost/expense of keeping a turf course alive and functioning that makes it not worth it.

You also have a top executive in Ann McGovern running the place, and Dennis Moore is a great trackman, so if he's doing the track you can rest assured it will be great and safe for horses.

But what do they know? I'm sure Threechimes could run the place better .... :/

OMG that is hilarious. Even Todd has had enough of the chronic complainers.

I feel liberated now.

It's laughable (and quite pathetic) that people actually trying to bring racing back are being criticized. I guess everybody should let the sport die and then you will all be happy?

Best of Luck, AZ Downs! I will be playing a few races just for the haters.
