Magna is very much counting on slots in Maryland, which I think is 50-50 at best. The MD tracks are getting killed by the purse structure at Charlestown. For example, an open 5,000 claimer for F&M 4Y old, has a purse of 21,000. A 3K claiming race for nw3L has a 9,000 purse. A Wva bred NW1x allowance race is 34,800. They can't compete against the likes of Ct without slots. Plus, Pa is soon going to have a very generous slot program that will be a boon for its tracks.
