I had to comment and agree with you on Nick Nicholson.<br />One of the best executives of all time. Nick really wanted to make the betting game flourish at Keeneland and he succeeded. It WAS the perfect racetrack.That being said, other racing entities fought his every move when he initially tried to lower takeout. Nick had the vision, they did not. End of story.<br /> Fast forward to the new dirt surface and my opinion of Keeneland has totally changed. On the poly, it was one of the greatest betting tracks in the world. Today the reality is that Keeneland is not on my betting radar at all. This is only my opinion but I really think the that if Woodbine has big fields to wager on, avoid being just another speed biased racetrack, can get some momentum on a low takeout bet and generate record pools like the harness meet did their handle numbers on the poly are going to be off the charts. This really could be a game changer for WEG.<br /> Michael A<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-23400271314858859572015-04-06T21:17:11.577-04:002015-04-06T21:17:11.577-04:00Wasn't the University of Kentucky involved in ...Wasn't the University of Kentucky involved in the semifinals of some basketball tournament last Saturday?
