Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On April 23, 2008, the Reporting Persons met with two Board Members of the
Issuer, including its Chairman, to express their belief that a sale of the
Issuer to industry participants or interested outsiders is the most logical
course of action to enhance shareholder value. Recent industry transactions
further highlight and support the Reporting Person's belief that the Issuer
should be exploring all options to maximize shareholder value. Absent a sale of
the Issuer, the Reporting Persons also expressed their belief that the Issuer
should focus on the elimination of the large losses generated by the Issuer's
Midwest tracks, which would also serve to significantly enhance shareholder
value.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a
continuing basis and may engage in further discussions with management, the
Board, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning
the business, operations, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer.
Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's
financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of any discussions
referenced above, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Shares, other
investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the
securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting
Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investments in
the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing
additional Shares or selling some or all of the Shares held by the Reporting
Persons and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CCM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,477,856 Shares, constituting
14.71% of the Shares of the Issuer, in each case based upon the 16,843,988
