Vernon "Vajina" Downs and Tioga "empty titi" Downs are 2 worthless toilet bowls, not sure if you can call those pools what the local sheople bet into.

However, likely a Republican state, ie Florida DeSantis uncoupled by law pari-mutual and casino and do you see a jai lai, dog track, harness track not falling, or already fallen.

Hoosier Park is ripe for getting its head chopped off.  I hear they are offering welfare meals to the horseman in the kitchen LOL!

I think Hoosier is OK, the Mennonites might riot if their entertainment is taken away.

I wonder if Hawthorne will go only T-bred.

I don't know enough about the East Coast tracks to make a guess.  Is Ocean Downs also vulnerable?

Monticello pools are better than Yonkers, believe it, it's true.

Yonkers my home track needs to stop, it's an abomination.

Billionaire Jeff Gural is tired of bailing out the BigM without more state support and a casino, he's about done.

There are a ton of worthless tracks, like mentioned Ocean Downs, Cal Expo some other Midwest dumps too.  Maine, wow, great history, so much talent from there but now...

When the uncoupling starts its goodby forever, Mennonites and everyone else's teary eyed to tantrums will not stop it.

There are tracks in Canada with like $1000 purses and hundreds in the pools, just awful lol, sometimes the exacta payoff is like for 6/ALL, no winners.

And a lot of Ohio Fairs too.

And my favorite, sometime to place or show tickets sold on the winners.

Worried about the Meadowlands.  Seen an interview with the Governor of NJ two or three years ago.  Must've been on a Hambo broadcast.  Thought it was awkward at that time. It went down as thank you for keeping us open.  We're at the mercy of politicians and casinos.  Not enough fans.

I voted for the BigM in this thread's survey.  Not for these reasons you mentioned but Gural is tired of not having a casino and footing the whole bill with some NJ gov subsidy, he's the one dude that would still leave the track open even if he had a thriving casino.  The BigM takes in more action than any other harness race track on this planet, yes still to this day it is #1 in handle even with a crappy card with 4 amateur races inclusive, #2 is Mohawk.
