There is very little space given over to horse bettors and they have expanded the casino to take over most of the grandstand. I think they run in the winter, though it is an artificial track. PI is a racetrack racino but the horses weren't running that day. It is convenient to get to off the interstate, and the traffic flow is good. PI is located off of I-90 just outside of Erie, PA. I visited Presque Isle Downs & Casino on 12/29/10.
