- I am very good at pointing out the negatives in Maryland racing, so I wanted to give a hardy pat on the back to The Maryland Jockey Club. The first week of twilight racing at Pimlico brought in a nice crowd. The weather for today and tomorrow should be great, and I hope to see even more racing fans. "Twilight" racing has also been advertised on on the sports talk shows, and in the paper every day. Good work guys!

I don't think it would help much, but I do think there would be more of a crossover for the sports gamblres than the slots players. Horse racing is a sport, and ifyou get sports gamblers into a place where they can bet sports, they'll be looking to bet even more sports. I would rather every track have a sports book than a slots hall.
