These places handle $500,000 a day with pools you cannot bet into seriously and somehow offer 250,000 a day in purses.
Was the thoroughbred racing world so much worse off 15 years ago when there was no Prairie Meadows?

I know that you hate when I use facts but in 1992 (15 years ago) horseplayers in the US had 70393 races on which to bet on. In 2006 there were 51,668 race run. So it would seem that your theory is kind of......wrong?
