Default Handle Decline Continues...
Sure the economy is recovering.

Just not for horseplayers apparently.

The "industry" can't ride the economic train forever...

Instead on incenting the owners who need to run anyway to pay their bills why not incent the CUSTOMERS.. Radical thinking I know

Maybe instead of giving out vouchers this year, tracks could start giving out gas cards.

Ignore all the failures. Go bonkers on the occasional accomplishment and dismiss all the failures.
