These companies run at RAZOR thin margins, now if they consolidated, to two companies, maybe Twin Spires and TVG, margins would increase, thus you can be more competitive.

Look at these BS tracks that are closing and how tracks have to be pulled out by slots. Magna/Churchill really have the RIGHT IDEA in having all these tracks under an organization but the problem is that Magna has a bunch of buffoons in the organization and they get rid of people that demand they are heard.

There are too many tenacles to this industry, and tenacles don't usually live long.

Well if you wanted to make me the czar of racing I'd just limit the stallion books by age. If you stood a 3yo his book would be limited to 20 mares. If you stood a 4yo his book would be limited to 60 mares. A 5yo could cover 100 and then 6yos and up would be unlimited. Would provide less incentive to retire a sound horse early.
