This sounds like a BS. So they close the existing track, with a "pending" possibility of another track that is not even achieved approvals?  What a great business model.

A tough bitter pill for MI horsemen and horsewomen to swallow. Even if they get approval by the Fall, it will take at a minimum probably 18 months to get a new one built and opened? That’s what, sometime in 2025 at the earliest? Don’t understand the thinking with Mr. Carlo with that one. I’d recommend that for the sake of the folks in the industry he publicly issues a time-frame so they can plan for this.

I wouldn't believe anything about a new track until they start pushing dirt!

Plan? The only viable plan was to leave when the first casino opened in Greektown, some 15 years ago, or more.

New track not happening, RIP Michigan racing.
