What has changed at the track, and how have those improvements kind of helped prepare you to, to host an event of this size?

Well, Scioto Downs is 65-plus years.

It's been around a long time, since 1959.

So with that, uh, you know, uh, facilities deteriorate and, uh, get older.

So, uh, in 2020 we, we went ahead and, um, uh, started doing the improvements when, uh, Caesars Entertainment took us over.

And, uh, we started small.

We, uh, resurfaced our racetrack, and then, uh, uh, our grandstand had been condemned for, for multiple years at that point, and, uh, it was a huge undertaking to, uh, uh, get that big building as it used to seat 3,000 people.

Now outside of some of these physical improvements, um, what can fans expect to see both on the track and around the facility when it comes to the Breeders' Crown?
