There was no profit, only an expense, he added. But we kept greyhound racing so we could keep our license for poker and parimutuel wagering. Thats where the money is.

Isn't it a sad world we live in where an exciting and pure form of entertainment and livelihoods for many are sacrificed to promote an industry that supports a lifestyle for unhealthy, poorly fed couch potatoes
