Laurel Park will slash the takeout rates for its upcoming Summer meet. Now that is reason enough to study up on the circuit. The meet will run from August 10-23. Hopefully, they do well and take steps to reduce takeout throughout the year. If one has to choose between 10% coming off the table, or, say, 25%, it's really not rocket science to deduce that the investor will speculate where her or she is getting more return on the dollar. I'll certainly look to get involved.
On the racing side, Preque Isle is to offer up some serious cash during its meeting this September. Never heard of Presque Isle? Don't worry, you're not alone. The new track is located near Erie, PA and will conduct its boutique meeting over a Tapeta surface - the same material down at Fair Hill Training Center in MD. I don't know if we'll have occasion to ship one of our runners out there this September, but given the figures involved, we'll certainly keep the option in play. I'll have to check the Erie Visitor's Bureau to see what they've got cooking.
As for activity at Fair Hill, Tim passed on that Mass Romantic is galloping away nicely. She's slowly getting into the program since shipping in a few weeks back. All is well physically and she's eating her Wheaties, as instructed. I'll get down there for a visit in the next few weeks.
