pompano has absolutely nothing to do with gulfstream

there is such language for gulfstream--but Stronach is only required to race 40 days a year--they can pull the plug on year round racing whenever they want and just race the minimum with Mountaineer quality races

they can race 40 days of garbage until the horsemen agree
