The optics here are very bad. Meeting with the legislators was not good. The current horsemen's organization did not even send a member!

It's always been about the casinos. Racing is an afterthought.

Gulfstream's casino is the least profitable in the state-if you read closely they are willing to close the casino and track and sell the land.

Yes, but it's not a real casino... no table games.
