I hear a lot of criticism of another racing jurisdiction but I know they don't pull a cheap shot like that....and would get villified if they did.
Not only that, but since they won't allow anything brought into the gates and they jack up their prices, they are only hurting themselves by people having less money to bet with. I believe they are the only track that charges so high for general admission as well. Their seat prices on their big racing days certainly blows away anything you see in the NY tracks, I'm not sure about the CA or Arlington tracks.
