My suggestion would be to permanently re-locate the BC to Fairmount, start the races at 3:30 in the morning on Christmas, and only show the races on HRTV.

Oh yeah, and even though Fairmount actually has lights.....don't turn any of them on.

I know you are obviously joking but since you are in Chicago I am curious if you have ever been to Fairmount?

I've been to Fairmont

it doesn't have a turf course

has zero ambience
it's like betting at a bus station

Yeah I've been multiple times, although not in the last few years.

It makes Hawthorne look like Arlington.

The bus station analogy is just about right.
