Fine, let them install it. Why is another issue entirely. Because Barbaro came unglued at Pimlico? Old Hilltop is not a bad track.

Oh, and though they may install it, don't count upon the bettors wagering upon it. Turfway is on its own. Keeneland and the Krazy Kalifornians to follow. Theres still NYRA, Churchill, Illinois and most of the Atlantic Coast tracks for Real Fans and Devotees of the Glorious Sport of Horse Racing to wager upon.

Goodbye Kalifornia, Hello Simulcasting.
