Jeff does pick & choose. He does get some credit for trying to clean up the sport.

Might get some credit if he didn't race his own horses at his own track. Otherwise he's simply thinning his competition

According to Nick Salvi, Meadowlands stakes administrator, "The on-track handle at The Meadowlands on Meadowlands’ races is always less than 10 per cent of the handle and sometimes far less than that.
“So, it’s not hard to do the math even if you’re going to be generous and say that the off-track dollars bet at The Meadowlands result in four per cent that goes to the track and is split between the track and the purse account. You’re talking about $120,000 on a $3-million night. That’s what it is. That kind of paints the picture.”
"Like Jeff said The Meadowlands is going to lose $5 million in operating costs on racing. That’s an alarming statement because all anybody’s used to seeing are the big handle numbers that Dave [Little] writes about when we have a good night at the races. They don’t understand the mathematics. People don’t know that.”
