Default Twin Spires: Fairgrounds wagering is temporairly suspended

Anyone know anything about this? Went to make a wager for today and this came up. Looks like AQU is OK.

What the hell is up now?

I live in kentucky, have Twin Spires, cannot bet my home state tracks CD,Kee
any calif tracks, Calder, and now FG! Thank God for Woodbine Hawthorne, and the small tracks. Ny ok but i've been off this week and weather has been bad, scratches, small fields, the groups involved had better wake up. The only reason handle is doing okay in NY is because of these black-outs to major tracks to a large portion of internet betting. If cal and others were open to all handle would be down there.

Can't grow a game with high take-out. It's impossible. So, they are fighting between themselves for the juice that does exist.

Well Louisiana is a right to work(cheaply) state. They're pretty hospitable down there. Just ask Garret Gomez about that(how that guy stayed up in the Delta Jackpot is a Cajun Mystery for sure.)

I just logged on to Twinspires, and I CAN bet the Fair Grounds. I did not because I have no money in my account, but that's a different story

Was watching a show about that Jonestown Massacre (whatever they call that Jim Jones train wreck.) That Congressman, his assistant, and the NBC reporter were the main targets when the thugs came in that tractor n' started shooting. They tried to hide under the plane. Didn't work out too good. All three took major hits. The thugs then put some point blank headshots in to the Congressman, and the NBC reporter. For some reason, they didn't do the same to the assistant to the Congressman. They shot her again, but not in the head. She survived, but was left on the runway for 23 hours. Thirty years later she now has the Congressman's job. All made possible, because a thug was a lil lazy...LOL....No, I don't want to be playing dead like she was, and expecting a headshot(to finish me off.) Would rather go like the Congressman Ryan guy(evidently took a clean 1st shot.) Yea, she survived, but how many people gunna survive for 23 hours after taking that many shots? She must have small blood vessels or something weird. Not only that, but the nightmares would be rough too. Doesn't seem to phase her, but I think it would haunt most people forever. Most of the other people who survived(by running into the jungle) are messed up mentally.
