They condemned the judges Booth and camera booth and run them all out. Scioto had a while now to make improvements and scioto higher ups hadn't done anything  . It's a sad sad s***.They have failed the horsemen terribly.

They've had about 3+ years ...... And the casino say no money to upgrade ( or fix )

And the horsemen say --- okay
and the OHHA say       --- okay
and the Racing Commish say --- okay

We've been talking about this grandstand for almost 4 years.  Is Lebanon Levi still around?  Maybe they can put one of those hydraulic lifts up in the middle of the infield for Barry and the judges  ngc3

IF THEY FUCKED HORSEMEN, THEY DESERVE A RAISE. HORSEMWEN AND THEIR CHEATING WAYS HAVE CHASED CUSTOMERS AWAY.  NOT ADDING TO THE BOTTOM LINE

Move the rest of the meet to Miami Valley.

BULL FUCKIN SHIT, TIME FOR HORSEMEN TO SUFFER AS WELL, . IF THE TRACK CLOSES, THAT SHOULD MEAN NO RACING, PERIOD UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. 
RACING DATES ARE SET FOR A REASON

IF SCIOTO CANT FULFILL THEM. THEN NO RACING PERIOD

WHY DO LYING CHEATING HORSEMEN THINK THE SPORT SHOULD BEND OVER FOR THEM? 


NEXT MEETING OF THE OSRC IS SEPT. 8, LET THEM DECIDE WHAT TO DO THEN.

DEAL WITH IT

this overgeneralized nonsense is out of line.  It's simply untrue and insulting for you to troll all of the horsemen and women into a same cup.  Lock your dirty talkin, lyin lips and be real quiet.

This is the press release from the United States Trainwreck Association.

Columbus, OH — The live racing card at Scioto Downs for tonight (Wednesday, Aug. 18) has been cancelled.

Further details will be provided as they are received, including information about the status of the Thursday (Aug. 19) program.

 I guess no reason needed for the cancellation. The head of the shit show, Russell Williams, should be forced to resign immediately. He is more concerned with bullshitting people, than reporting the truth.

    Sincerely, Silent One

The OHHA are a bunch of bobbleheads like the Ohio Racing Commission... Just nodding up and down to whatever the casino tells them to do.

If they can't race --- then turn the slots off. Weather issues are one thing, a pandemic is another thing.

But they have spent $12.99 on the grandstand over the last 3 years. The cost of a roll of yellow caution tape.

Why should the horseman pay for it, we don't use the grandstand ?? Anyway how could we come up with the kind of coin it would take to build a nice comfortable betting and viewing area ?? You bettors are an unreasonable sort !!

Putting on the wonderful production for you bettors is not cheap !! Horses need to tuned and ready to go !! We barely break even !! You know with the high costs involved with getting the stock ready to compete !! The Vets end up with the most when all is said and done, they should build the facilities. Just Sayin. Or at least a four way split between Cappers, Horseman, Vets and Track Owners

Grandstand should have been repaired  day one when eldorado took over

It’s been on back log and now it’s them in the face

Smack in the heart of racing season

It’s about two weeks of a good free to build a new grandstand. Or deportation one that’s can pass restrictions.

Do it and stop DICKING AROUND. 

OHIO RACING AND ELDORADO

They should have knocked down the main Grandstand the day the casino was approved. keep the clubhouse and put in a few bleachers and a single story betting enclosure /cafe. I raced there in the 90's and that main grandstand was a dinosaur then. Horse Racing in general and Harness racing in particular have little or no relevance to today's casual bettor and for the addicts a grandstand is of no consequence. In the last 5 years I've raced at 7 tracks in a very limited capacity from (the top Hoosier Park to the bottom (LOL Kentucky's mighty Thunder Ridge-scariest place I've ever raced and I've raced Cars-motorcycles-Greyhounds -Harness and TBreds) and every one of the parimutual tracks cvould have been run with less than 5% of the seats EXCEPT Hoosier.

In hindsight it should have been demolished once casino was approved, but they held a few concerts there and the place was packed.  Would hate to see the quote for removal of that roof plus all that concrete.  I think that's why they have been dragging their feet.   With the slope of the apron and with the sun to your back, they could make it into a great concert venue if they wanted to.

Your stupid big boy dirty talk doesn't impress anyone.  The horse races are run as prescribed.  If the casinos don't leverage that as an event to attract gamblers and gamers - that, in no way, is on the horsemen.

Sure can't disagree w/ your suggestion to just wait until the next Ohio meet starts.  SD has let this go on all week.  do they really figure all the bettors are anxiously hoping and checking for their races to come back.  Real similar to a retail store closing for a couple days, no matter the reason.  Customers might give them a 2nd try- but, that's it.  after that, they just go elsewhere.
