Of course the drivers, trainers and owners love the place....the purses are nice. Bettors are what matter not horsemen in the long run....once welfare ends bye bye to over half the tracks.
You bettors only mattered when purses were small and we padded our incomes with a few insider trading place wagers.
Now purses are huge and we don't need your dime super wagers. You have been replaced by silver haired old ladies spending their dead husbands pensions pulling handles.
Bettors only mattered to me as a source of non taxable income. I would rather make 1 dollar crooked than 2 dollars straight. But keep thinking you are important for your ego's sake. You have been replaced
