This is
exactly the kind of thing they should have handled. When it became essential to change tax laws in order for Canadian tracks to co-mingle they managed to get that done quickly. But, of course, that had a great benefit to racetracks and the withholding has a more obvious effect on horseplayers only so they dropped the ball. They are too busy ( or were ) pretending to attract new fans, so those people could possibly get screwed down the road, to care about the true existing fans. Of course, as withholding takes money out of circulation, in essense racetracks get screwed as well. Just not as severly as horseplayers.
