This sounds like a BS. So they close the existing track, with a "pending" possibility of another track that is not even achieved approvals?  What a great business model.

A tough bitter pill for MI horsemen and horsewomen to swallow. Even if they get approval by the Fall, it will take at a minimum probably 18 months to get a new one built and opened? That’s what, sometime in 2025 at the earliest? Don’t understand the thinking with Mr. Carlo with that one. I’d recommend that for the sake of the folks in the industry he publicly issues a time-frame so they can plan for this.

I wouldn't believe anything about a new track until they start pushing dirt!

Plan? The only viable plan was to leave when the first casino opened in Greektown, some 15 years ago, or more.

New track not happening, RIP Michigan racing.

  • Trigger: We have a genius amongst us.  They solely know the meaning of Plop land here, and they know who doesn't.  Take deep breaths when you remove your head from the asshole it's been up before it goes back.  With that said, have a good day! ;D

  • Trigger: Now it's Ploppers on EPO sadly.  Yup Bello is using it for handicapping and winning big.  He'll be tested tomorrow once his erection goes down from winning 17/20 races.  If positive, I'll drink what's left in the cup.  ;D

  • Trigger: On this day in history, 9/14/82 Princess Grace's car plunged off a mountain in Monaco.  True story, she was distracted by an elephant's trunk.  Turns out Calhoun was taking a leak.  ;D
