Gander.. I agree that there should and could be better relations with the patrons but we are in the front lines... I have suggested things to management of tracks that would be good for PR... like when you get rained out.. hand everyone a simulcast program so they will stay. They just chuckle (which pisses me off!) lol Day rates don't cut it... to properly care for a horse you need 45-50 a day and that would not include the trainers fee. So a trainer gets 60 a day... he/she is only worth 10 bucks a day??? You can't make it on 10 a day! Dunkin Donuts gets more than that a day for breakfast! Yes... trainers get 10% of a win but only one trainer can win a race.
