I agree - I enjoyed the Pilot, there's plenty to chew on with the current decline of race tracks/bringing in the slots issue (at least that's how it is NJ) and there's a large supply of interesting, idiosyncratic characters. I only hope that it isn't bogged down by beautiful yet incomprehensible bullshit, ala John from Cincy.
