I don't know, some of these changes sound fine but I could certainly NOT live with FREE admission and parking.

I mean, I was raised PAYING to enter the track and to park my car. This is the AMERICAN THOROUGHBRED way; and I live the life.

So, for example, whenever I go to the casino (wherever that might be), I ALWAYS INSIST on paying an ADMISSION fee. And paying for all my food and drinks, cause I was raised in the AMERICAN THOROUGHBRED tradition.

And, when I head over to a BORDELLO (local or otherwise) I INSIST on paying an ENTRANCE FEE and for my DRINKS, in addition to whatever it costs for the sex. Once again, it's the AMERICAN THOROUGHBRED WAY.

Tell you this much, I'll never go to another racetrack that charges admission and parking fees. And I'll never pay for basic data (in its presently FLAWED state) or replays. And, sooner or later, tracks will get their **** together. If they don't, by that time, HKG will be taking my bets.
