DeBartolo shifts plan for Thistledown due to costs
Thistledown owner Edward J. DeBartolo says he will likely improve the existing track rather than build a new $15 million facility after state approval of Sunday racing. DeBartolo cites soaring construction costs as the main reason, despite pledging two years ago to proceed if permitted. The state granted Sunday racing last year. DeBartolo recently opened a new track near Shreveport, Louisiana.
