I agree they need to re open Trinity Meadows, As being only 21 I havent had the opportunity to go to it.

Increasing the quality of racing should increase the handle and thus increase the purse structure. Bringing slots and other forms of gambling takes away the disposable income for the races. Magna wants a 5 star casino that has a racetrack. Leaglizing slots makes horseracing a secondary product. Cutting back on the dates and number of races leaves more money per race.Like I said earlier the simocast pavillion is what drives LS. With higher quality racing,the sending out of the signal should reach more people and another factor in the horses doing the job and not the slots.
