I agree totally with that "every transaction" part. Just take a penny or so out of every bet. I imagine he means other transactions too like the sale of horses, breeding fees, etc. Seems like that would be pretty painless. Wonder if the tracks wouldn't demand a handling fee though for having to keep up with the money. State legislatures should probably get involved and demand that tracks do this. After all, State and local governments benefit bigtime from horseracing and will probably benefit even more so from racinos.
