My holiday got extended a bit by some viruses/bacteria. Sorry for the scarce posts and comment moderation. Happy to see that the neverending slots/horse racing story has never ended. I liked this bit of blue skying by The Sun's editorial page. Sell Rosecroft to Angelos and start holding throuroughbred meets there, thus rescuing the thoroghbred trade from the Maryland Jockey Club. The Sun:

Another tantalizing possibility is that Mr. Angelos could try to bring thoroughbred racing to the track. Mr. Angelos himself is a breeder of thoroughbreds, and the thoroughbred industry, despite a recent deal brokered by Gov. Martin O'Malley to keep the tracks open this year, faces an uncertain future. The feuding between Penn National and MI Developments, the joint owners of the Maryland Jockey Club, makes it difficult to see how the industry could develop and execute a viable plan for resurrecting its business. While Rosecroft couldn't fully take the place of the two existing thoroughbred tracks, it could at least offer a refuge for the state's horsemen and keep the industry alive while the ownership of the Maryland Jockey Club is straightened out.

The editorial gives a good overview of what has happened and what is likely to happen with Angelos and Rosecroft, and the whole thing is worth reading.
