Of course racing was going to be pushed out and Casino's are going to take over eventually. You could tell from the first day slots at racetracks became the new fad, that it was just a band aid for actual horse racing and that we were entering dangerous territories. State governments used the racing industry and the Interstate Horseracing Act and Wire Act to be able to make slot gambling legal... and then eventually they can change the rules like they seem to do about everything.
Fault has to lie with the race tracks. Politicians will always be politicians. They are going to jump on any opportunity they can to get more money in their pockets. Racing as always had a problem valuing short term success over long term. More government never means a better product. I really feel for New York Horse racing and NYRA.
