I really don't feel like getting into a further discussion of how OTB is inefficient and takes way too much money out of racing and why the nature of their charter runs contra to the best interests of racing.

Thanks.
Was mainly looking to understand the arrangement between NY OTB and Track. OTB is what is it and arguing about it certainly seems to be pointless right now. Just trying to get a sense for how much more an on-track dollar benefits the track as opposed to a off-track dollar.
