Certainly not the norm, but it doesn't have to be a pink unicorn with six legs either. LOL.

That was a nice write up. It’s nice to read something positive about the game.

Cella doesn't allow CAWs into any of their pools

Been there a couple times. Outstanding facility and atmosphere. Complete opposite of say, Yonkers.

You are 100% correct. But, when they were a struggling winter meet for mid-west horsemen and the Arkansas bred beast, they did better than most. And during the end of the meet, they hosted a week long racing calibration. Drew crowds of 30,000+ for Arkansas Derby and a couple other stake races. All without gaming revenue.
 Kentucky's new life is based on the Oaklawn system.

The "guy" who owns the track, also owns the casino.....he is interested in, committed to, and supports horse racing. It starts there. Plain and simple. As long as that stays constant, OP will excel. At YR, the Rooney family abandoned racing. They smelled, saw, and salivated over a casino, got it, and every dollar they invested went into the casino side of the property. Racing was nothing more than a necessary evil. And then they sold. Highest and best use.

sorry i misunderstood your position
 i figured you hated all horse racing , its evil , it kills animals
so now you just selectively choose which things to rant about and ignore others at your own whim

A letter from the President of a "successful" racetrack to the horsemen who raced at and supported his track and meet.
