It may not be likely but it is more of a possibility each passing year.

Monmouth isn't going anywhere........If it takes subsides to support a business then unfortunately the business is pretty crappy.

It's the sport of Kings, and Budwiser is the King of beers.

Casino subsidies/Slots = Welfare for bad horses.

These gaming companies look 10-20 years ahead and racetracks and horsemen cannot and take whatever they're offered.

If a track can't make it, it should shut down. If some people lose jobs, they'll find others. Why should racing be different than other industries?
