With all respect to Sal Sinatra, who Steve has had on the program and who tries to do a good job with the track, the senior management at Parx puts the racing at "lower than whale excrement" importance.

"Parx" is advertised locally here in Philly as "So Vegas" and all that. They do not advertise the racing at all. If the racing is ever removed as a prerequisite for other casino gaming operations, the track will cease to exist.

They have made that abundantly clear. You would not know that Parx has a track at all from TV ads or billboards in Philly.
