I have a feeling two tracks would also boost overall attendance and overall handle. The major issue is that trainers and owners could have horses running at different tracks which is undesirable on the biggest day of racing. That is why it will probably never happen.

Jockey issues as well. Big time horse with one rider the whole season...then for biggest race not on him. Don't think trainers would go for that either...if they have two stars at different tracks.
