Expand the network of restaurant/bar-based facilities throughout the city and open more teletheaters, following the example of those in Nassau and Suffolk counties as well as Albany and Niagara Falls. They work.

I don't know that expanding to Asia / Europe in place of the non-profitable tracks is an urgent issue. Sure any horse player likes top class racing regardless of venue, but sometimes less is more when a product is in transition.
