Poor LAD is on its last breath. It makes me sad because I can tell it used to be a great facility. Makes me not even want to drive up to see Kenneth run.

Lawn, those 2 are on my bucket list. And Saratoga again since my last trip unexpectedly turned into a working vacation where I only saw the races we were in, the training track and barn area, and the test barn

It was Whitney weekend, too

A lot of klankles and cargo shorts in the quarter yesterday afternoon. Who would have ever thought anyone would want to be seen in a Florida Georgia Line tour tee shirt.

Will do, if it ever happens

Kentucky Downs will probably be my next bucket list track. I love turf racing.

There is no possible way you can seriously think Evangeline is trashier than Delta!

Yep. I very much do.

I can have fun at delta. The entire time I’m at evd I’m ready to go home.

at least ED has renovated. Delta is still stuck in the 70s.
I find the crowd at the FG to be sketchy as hell too

The new track sucks, as does the turf course.

The surface at old evd (now training center) is much better.

Neither track has a grandstand, which I hate. More unattended screaming a-hole children at evd, slightly less race fixing at delta.

I do always have more fun at delta but I haven’t been in years.

Harrahs could do something with LAD if they really wanted to. I guess Lone Star put a big dent in their business.

Lone Star isn’t hurting anyone. They’re really sucking hind tit. Christ, every trainer in Texas is trying to run in La.

The trashiest most depressing place has to be Greene Track......greyhound racing in Alabama

I’ll give you this one. But you gotta walk right by those little frickers at Delta cause the arcade is right next to the entrance to the track.

Pile of kids out there at Delta too. But they’re all Mexican and most are behaved.

Makes all the difference in the world. I think I’ve only gone in to delta through the paddock so I don’t think I even knew there was an arcade.

You still have a lot of kids running around at Delta, but it’s not the free for all it is at ED.


You need to get off the backside and hang out n gen pop. Tell your boo to carry his own bag

There’s no boo to worry about. I’m backside in the mornings more than anything else with our listing service to help get them into second careers.

I prefer not to hang out with the general population unless I’m at fg or keeneland

I went to Louisiana Downs for years before I ventured down to the first floor. Jesus. Everyone down there looks to be on a disability check.

It’s not so bad these days. But you;still see some hardcore motherfrickers betting on other tracks. I saw one dude watching the TVs with binoculars.
