Multiply that by 4 or 5 days per week. So will $6 more dollars be a deal breaker, maybe.

Exactly. Won't be my breaking point but for some it might be. As I think helicopter said - how does this attract more people to the track? If a couple has a budget of $200 for a day at the races, they are out around 30% prior to even betting.

Seems like they are following the real estate expression - If you own rental property , keep raising prices until someone move out.
