here's a thought for mike and the other economic majors on the site

1. lets add up all the money the government ( yes that's your tax dollars) is giving to house and feed illegals that flood into the country, 90% of them who don't and will never work but will rape,steal,kill
others

2. so if harness racing disappears so do all the vets, blacksmiths, equipment  manufactures etc , etc so then what do those people do, go on unemployment and cost the state more money

3. also without going into detail( it differs by state) much of the money   distributed does come from casino revenue ( remember the cost of them getting to open casino that make them hundreds of millions)

4. yes harness racing does make a contribution to many areas of the economy, called a multiplier effect

is harness racing perfect, far from it, lots of mistakes made , but its not as evil as you make it

And the auto industry does?
They’re both subsidized to keep them afloat and workers working.

My favorite is:

“The subsidies have insulated this industry from changing and, frankly, have done as much to create its demise as anything,” Ward said. “They refuse to adapt to the new reality and they don’t operate on the same business model – the same competitive business model – that most businesses do. I can’t understand why the business community tolerates this.”

The owners of Oaklawn saw how these guys(Elite) pick the pockets of regular bettors--so they barred them from their pools years ago

Hats off to Oaklawn

when some bettors on this site look at the M1 handle $3mil or so--they think that's a good thing-and that's amusing
