Default Races not filling

I guess the next logical step would be to look to ship out of town if the particular race you are looking for doesn't fill numerous times at your home base. That of course depends on a race filling in a track that is somewhat close, the right distance, surface and level..... It seems a shame that tracks such as Arlington Park, or whomever can't fill races with their own population every once in a while beyond the low level claimers but if that is the reality then as has been stated owners and trainers and their help don't make any money by keeping their horses in the barns. I suspect having a base like at Phila Park is good because there are numerous tracks one can ship to. Arlington is a bit more challenging as you have Indiana, Churchill and not much else. The economics and reality of the game is forcing all players to reconsider how to operate....

Exactly...It has become a game between Arlington and Churchill who they are going to steal next to make a race fill. And they are owned by the same company!!
