Huge reason is look at the purses, compare that to Vernon today. I know slot welfare is the reason, but Ohio is thriving now.

Hey bro!  ;D

Why the fuck when the horses ship in and race at Hoosier from these 5/8's Ohio tracks they're slower by seconds (seeing a lot of that)...is the testing more heavy regulated in Indiana?

Been that way for years, when capping Scioto or MVG I never bet a shipper from Hoosier.  Scioto and MVG are always 1 or 2 seconds faster then Hoosier. Reason why..no idea..if I threw out a guess it would be pure speculation. I will say this, I'd like to slap Trace Tetrick upside the head for his drive in race 12 on a 1/2 shot that I had singled to win 4 fucking grand in their late pick 5.

TT's 3/4 time was unnecessary and ridiculous!

Had a couple of those last night too - JMac in the 10th and Joe B. at BigM in the 9th...fucking no tries!

Burke has them do that if it's iffy or pre-planned it's a no go, Gingras done it plenty.
