Just wondered

[gtapp]

Couple questions

1- Where do we stand with getting slots at the tracks?

2- Heard rumors Meadowland may not run after current again after current session and that Sciota may not run again. What do you know about that?

3- How come you don't list suspension in the program like you use to?
(need to put some articles in there- something to read between races)

4- What does it mean when a horse is scratched because of transportation (sorry if that is a dumb question)

5- A while back I had heard they might get the charity poker games at Northfield. Don't know if that was true or lot but it would have been a great location. Was that true and if so what happened?

6- Are they ever going to mix up the menu at the snack bar? Used to have some really great cheese fries.

7- Are you ready to tell us yet what is planned for Sat. nights? (Or am I going to have to spend my Saturdays at Mountaineer?)

1- Where do we stand with getting slots at the tracks?

>>Governor Kasich is studying the situation. My gut says he will come to the only realistic conclusion in about 60-90 days. Figure about a year from that point. That is me talking, not track management talking.

2- Heard rumors Meadowland may not run after current again after current session and that Sciota may not run again. What do you know about that?

>>M1 looks like they will be fine, with Jeff Gural (Tioga/vernon) negotiating to take over. I had heard similar rumors about ScD, but they have requested dates and are hosting Super Night in 2011. So reports of their death may be greatly exagerated.

3- How come you don't list suspension in the program like you use to?
(need to put some articles in there- something to read between races)

>>Change in the way they were reported, combined with a kep person being out a couple years back. I am not happy about it, but they will not resume.

4- What does it mean when a horse is scratched because of transportation (sorry if that is a dumb question)

>>Truck breakdown. for example. Many horses ship in from remote locations.

5- A while back I had heard they might get the charity poker games at Northfield. Don't know if that was true or lot but it would have been a great location. Was that true and if so what happened?

>>Not quite sure, to tell the truth.

6- Are they ever going to mix up the menu at the snack bar? Used to have some really great cheese fries.

>>I believe so, yes.

7- Are you ready to tell us yet what is planned for Sat. nights? (Or am I going to have to spend my Saturdays at Mountaineer?)

>>Not yet. ;D
