Face it, nobody cares about the Travers except horse racing fans. The KY Derby is a huge event, the rating are huge every year. The Travers would get cut for little league baseball, because little league baseball gets higher ratings. |
If this were your free market then all 3 tracks would go to different owners and chaos would reign...capitalism is good to a point. There are also very bad aspects of capitalism. Exploitation, price fixing if the business is large enough. NYRA model, tweeked, is far and away the best model for NY racing.
We don't have NY racing just to make Robber Barons even richer.
