Hurray for Ohio. They may be behind West Va. and Delaware and Penn State in slots at the track, but they still are ahead of Michigan ( one of the most backward thinking states in the nation). Thistledown will take business (horses, trainers, owners, etc.) away from Pinnacle Race Course in 2010, whether Pinnacle survives another year or not. When Ohio purses increase, other venues with lesser purses will crumble. I was hoping Michigan would be in line quicker than Ohio, but if we have to race again in Cleveland, so be it - we've done it before (I just hate to drive 3 hours to watch my horses run). Thistledown is still a nice track to race at. Kudos to the Ohio legislature for finally thinking outside the box and starting the ball rolling. Michigan and its mole for a governor can't see their nose despite their face and continue to want to raise taxes rather than increase revenues (year after year after year). It gets pretty pathetic after a while. Losing DRC was just the tip of the iceberg. Now we have to hurdle over MGM, MotorCity and Greektown casinos. Well, Ohio, congrats, you lucky son of a guns!
