Fort Erie Closing

[Jane]

Good article, hope it helps.

Ft. Erie has been on the edge for years, not sure any amount of marketing would make a difference without the slots.

I hope to get down to Ft Erie for a day soon, I want to see it one last time but I also know it will be upsetting. It was a place where I learned about racing, a place where many of us who are now at Woodbine started out. I have so many good memories from there, the small town atmosphere was good for the people and the horses.

The director of marketing/pre-race commentator at Fort Erie is, in my opinion, more interested in furthering her TV career than marketing the track. Her pre-race comments are above the level of understanding of the casual race day fan and not taken seriously by the more seasoned bettors.
I think she should channel her efforts in getting people to the track rather than offering her opinion of the outcome of the races.

We have likened it to the kiss of doom if she picks one of your horses!
