Bethann Palone said her husband suffered bruises on his right arm and shoulder and lower back.
Hall of Fame driver Dave Palone escaped serious injury Monday in a mishap at The Meadows that saw him flipped from the sulky and bounced along the track. The accident occurred in the 10th race when Palone’s horse, North Bay Hanover, locked wheels with another horse near the finish line. Palone maintained his grip on the lines when he was ejected from the sulky, so that when North Bay Hanover did not pull up immediately, Palone bounced on the racing surface behind him. Palone knelt briefly on the track but eventually walked off under his own power and declined a trip to the hospital. Bethann Palone said her husband suffered bruises on his right arm and shoulder and lower back. “He’s pretty stiff and sore,” she said. “I just made him get up …

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board releases February table games revenue.
The table games revenue at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino in North Strabane fell about $1 million in February from a year ago. The Meadows table games revenue was $2,934,701 in February 2012 and just $1,941,422 in February 2013, according to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The casino's general Manager Sean Sullivan told the Observer-Reporter that "a variety of factors, from weather to a shorter month (2012 was a leap year) to a guest who won big against the house, all contributed to the revenue loss." Presque Isle Downs and Casino in Erie saw the most revenue lost. Three casinos saw a revenue increase in February 2013—the Rivers Casino on the North Sore, the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and the Sands Casinos Resort Bethlehem. …
