Excerpt: "The sport has had a nice run with slot machines, those gizmos that have fattened purses, made a lot of owners a lot of money and kept a dozen or so racetracks from closing. But the good times are about to end, and a lot sooner than you might have thought.


A system -- broke state governments allowing tens of millions in slots revenue to go to horse racing -- that could never last is starting to crumble."
