how badly does racing need saving when you constantly read headlines about new-record handles at different tracks? attendance is down, but handle is up--so just how bad off is horse racing? does the track make money on $2 per person attendance, or takeout from otb's and on line betting? i'm betting it's the latter.
i'm not so sure that slots are the answer, if everyone has them, then once again the playing field is level. then it comes down to who runs their business the best. and that's generally the case anyway.
