Maybe instead of giving out vouchers this year, tracks could start giving out gas cards.

Yeah but GP increased handle a few million on Sunday so this thread is not entirely accurate.
We're going to treat this sport like liberals treat an Obama accomplishment. Need the groundwork? Ok here go... Ignore all the failures. Go bonkers on the occasional accomplishment and dismiss all the failures.

Racing and its partners have done all they could to drive people away from playing....they are past just economic times, and it will never come back.

And there won't be a bailout. Horse racing isn't part of the PC umbrella of businesses that can't "fail"
It's just funny how some people have a positive outlook on the sport to this day. Like a crowd of over 14,000 with 33 million handle in a metropolis is somehow praiseworthy. Yeah it is when you compare only to the previous year. The overall decline is staggering.

The fact that the country has not recovered from the recession but the government continues to lie to people and claim that it has must be considered in any decline. The truth is that this country is still in a recession, people are hurting for money and don't have the money to play at the windows right now.
