To think that video and or slots are the answer is folish thinkinbg and just what Magna wants you to think. LS is driven by its simocast pavilion. To increase the number live races just dilutes the quality. Making the meet shorter and increasing the quality is the way to go. There is a nice minor league facility just west of FT worth that could be the base for the lesser quality races. Its not a nice facility but one that fits the bill for most of the minor league races that LS cards. Assmusen tried to purchase the old Trinity meadows property a few years ago as s training facility but he wanted a quarante of some racing dates but no coperation from the state and the other already established tracks. Too many look for the slots as a cure all, Its time for the horsemen and tracks to be a little more creative. Lets promote horseracing and not casinos with horseracing.
