There is a pretty good secondary market for sports tickets in New York. That means tickets could very well be under priced. That isn't remotely close to true for horse racing.
Completely right. I find it hard to believe that people will become die hard race fans if they don't come to the track. It's not a fortune but there are a lot of people who come to Saratoga who live upstate and have very little. They aren't going to the clubhouse. Ever.
