Racing is currently structured around bettors and unfortunately fewer and fewer bettors and betting dollars are being wagered on racing. Adding more competition that liquidate peoples pockets faster isn't to bright IMO.

This is a good point.
But a huge part of the problem is the dollars
bet on tracks that are not going to the tracks.

If money bet over the internet actually went back
to the track that spent money for the race to take place...

Im selfish because I want a track in my city to stay
open, I like live racing. But it just may not
be feasible and thats my tough luck.
