The first race at Tioga had a total of $82 in the show pool and $183 in the place pool. How do these tracks survive with this kind of non-action.
-
Without the Casino's money there would be no racing
-
They were talking about all the support the state of Ohio gives the little brown jug. Because without state money. County money none of that would be possible.
-
States HATE reporting poor unemployment #s. Waaaaay easier to keep taxpayer cash coming to tracks and keep a few district politicians looking like theyre in charge with horsemen and subsidiary industries jobs remaining in place
-
some day they will shut down horseracing it's called decoupling in NY they shouldn't even have wagering just have the races. they probably lose money with opening up. Just let them race no wagering . they wager for the slot machine money. no Gulfstream Park is next. like fair races.
-
That slot machine money should go to infrastructure. roads. schooling. Emergency services for each county. state. not to pay for gural hobby
-
From day 1 nobody has bet Tioga.

It costs Mr. Gural about $80,000/per race date (maybe more now)
As for the money going to infrastructure and social services…….YUP! A TON Does Just That.
And the Casino (not racino) isn’t “coupled. Horse racing at tioga is because Gural wants horse racing at Tioga….not because he has to have it.

I was there one weekend day in 2007 and the place was packed. You had to be on line to bet early otherwise you were shut out.

Without racetracks (already zoned and licensed for wagering), there would be no casino.
How many stand alone casinos have popped up in the last 20 years?
How many racinos have popped up in the last 20 years?

He absolutely has to have it, no racing , no slots. Just like Yonkers, Saratoga, etc. You think MGM has racing at Yonkers because they want to? 😂

It will not be long until that is gone. A few more people whispering in the right people's ears, and the fraud that is subsidized harness racing is gone.
Economic impact! That always makes me crack up. Harness racing has X impact. As if the money spent elsewhere wouldn't.
End this shit. Too many awful humans involved, and to the few good ones, I'm sorry.
