Are they all a plus? Do you attend any? Are they stupid? Do they bring in new bettors or mainly serve to irritate the old ones?
If you think that fannies in the seats at the racetrack is important you are bound to be disappointed. Saratoga, Delmar, Santa Anita are a few tracks that still get a crowd. I attend the races only at Saratoga and a couple trips to Monmouth usually on a Sat when they have some sort of event (Concert, Food Truck competition). You are pissing against the wind if you are looking for racetrack attendance to be what it was. ADW wagering has killed attendance and it NEVER will recover.
