I know we have some Laurel/Pimlico/Bowie folks on this Forum. Does anyone have any comments?

i was at the last meeting in december at laurel and there was certainly frustration on the part of the marylanders. they didn't want any part of penn gaming. now that stronach has total control of his portion of the racing assets, i hope they will all sit down and talk about a way forward. if we just wait for the slots money to roll in and up purses, that sounds like all the eggs in one basket to me and we could end up back at square one.

Seems to me they have their hands in OH and are trying to move Beulah to Dayton, but ONLY IF slots are approved in the move :)
