Miami Valley
« on: March 09, 2014, 10:11:10 PM »
What a joke and complete travesty. Didn't actually go there, but father and brother did, as I was sick. Both have been to tracks all over country, and this was, BY FAR, their worst experience, EVER! They said that it was fortunate I was sick, since I probably experienced less suffering that evening. They may never go back even if one of our horses is racing there. Poor management, (only 3 live tellers and constant shut-outs), horrible casino, (no recognizable Vegas-type machines), unbelievably incompetent architecture (the architect should be shot, since you can't even see the track from what they supposedly call a clubhouse nowadays), and very extraordinarily costly ($20 up-front just to sit at a picnic table). Did Obama have a hand in this? Probably in conjunction with his idiotic medical care program?  I'll never set foot there, I'm a harness racing aficionado, and used to love the atmosphere of Lebanon. I'll end this with my first line. What a joke and complete travesty.

Here's another thing that sucks.  Two of my favorite tracks may be first to disappear. Balmoral & the Red Mile. What personality those 2 tracks have! Of course I'm sure the old-timers felt the same way about Roosevelt.

Sorry to hear the bad reviews about Miami Valley.  Not the first bad raps I've seen for sure.   Was planning to visit, but now may just stay home..

It would be blow if those two tracks closed.  I remember when Washington Park burned to the ground, I didn't set foot in a track or bet a horse for 5 years. Would happen again I'm sure.

Jeremy and I had planned on going there too. I guess it would be better just to stay at home.

This is bad news. You are the f\second person who has said Miami Valley sucks. Several horsemen have said they like racing there.

Of course if the fans don't like it, that cannot be good. 4pezz2

I was  hoping to see good reviews.
Hopefully they can get some feed back from the patrons to straighten out the problems.
Make sure you let them know that your family had a bad experience
