Lone Star

[unassailable08]

Texas needs VLT's. just like I was trying to say Texas is losing its business to Louisiana and Oklahoma. and both OK and LA have Slot machines at there racetracks, "coincidence, I think not." Well if VLT's, and table games are not the answer how can Lone Star improve their purses in order to give trainers a reason to stay around.

I agree they need to re open Trinity Meadows, As being only 21 I havent had the opportunity to go to it.

Increasing the quality of racing should increase the handle and thus increase the purse structure. Bringing slots and other forms of gambling takes away the disposable income for the races. Magna wants a 5 star casino that has a racetrack. Leaglizing slots makes horseracing a secondary product. Cutting back on the dates and number of races leaves more money per race.Like I said earlier the simocast pavillion is what drives LS. With higher quality racing,the sending out of the signal should reach more people and another factor in the horses doing the job and not the slots.
