Is this a good thing? I'd say Yes.

Despite pledges by Churchill Downs Inc. to re-invest in several lagging areas at the Fair Grounds, the Louisiana State Racing Commission hasn't been convinced.
After almost two hours of discussion at a Tuesday meeting, the Racing Commission decided to defer the company's rolling 10-year license to hold live racing at the Fair Grounds and operate its off-track betting parlors in Louisiana.
The Commission will hold a special meeting May 1 to discuss the license request. Churchill Downs Inc. has been asked to provide short- and long-term strategic plans in four areas: marketing, the turf course, service and other facilities.
