Let's just say that correlated 1:1 to the stock (which it's often magnified, but for argument's sake)... 2% is a difference of $30 million to the market cap.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... they don't have people who understand racing and gaming in place, they have knucklehead MBA's who see everything as an asset or liability on the balance sheet and P&L on the income statement. Not saying it's right, but that's what they're doing.
Phil he is thinking like a horseman not a business owner.

facts are simple your horse wins the KD and is worth 8 figs plus save the BS for Rick Porter
