Agree totally Richard. Any money skimmed off of that and put into racing will benefit racing.

People forget that racing was the original, and only, gambling in the US. They also forget it employs a tremendous amount of people and provides a full or partial income for many more. It's hundreds of thousands of people.

When you think of the NBA. 15 players a team, 32 teams. 480, add coaches and staff, maybe 1200. MLB, double that and NFL triple that. But still.

Horse Racing is a livelihood for a tremendous amount of people. A good livelihood. They work hard, long hours. I admire all of them.
