I think you are missing the point. On track handle is not nearly as important as before the advent of adw's but 60k is a joke. The head of the horsemans group said that he hadn't heard complaints from bettors. An ontrack handle of 60k shows that there aren't any bettors to complain to him.

Batting average in baseball has been shown to have far less importance as a measuring metric than in past years but if a guy is hitting .140 you dont have to be an expert to know he sucks. If your a track is handling 60k ontrack there are major issues that need to be resolved. These clowns won't even recognize that their product is not only overpriced but not that good either. I know a lot of people dont give a damn what happens in PA but if the politicians/tracks succeed in axing racing don't think that the politicans in other states won't be watching.
