If the tracks were to close in this completely hypothetical situation that I'm not necessarily arguing for (although CA racing right now is a complete joke) would those laws stay the same? Would all CA tracks have to close for the state to supposedly lose interstate wagering? What if Los Al were to stay open?




So the fate of racing in NY, KY, and elsewhere depends on new blood from California specifically (a more important market in the near future will probably be the international one)? Wouldn't the loss of a major competitor for handle and the influx of new horses and horsepeople counteract that a bit?

You would be a great racing exec under the current regime.

I don't know if you can run just at Los Al, maybe I guess.

I don't think it works like that, as far as long term model growth. That would be like saying we would all be better off with less competition, when in fact it works the opposite.

I would also argue that Ky is not as healthy as you may think. I have no clue on NYRA other than they were in bankruptcy last year.
