I remember not too long ago when I would attend MassCap day at Suffolk Downs and it would be standing room only. I got to see Cigar in person. And now the place is about to be boarded up....no live racing anymore. I would imagine that this problem is the same around the country...not at the big tracks but at the little ones where the money is running dry. The sport is not thriving enough to keep the little guys alive. So as we all baske in the glory of AP, the fact of the matter is that it really does not make a difference to the sport long term.
