in harness racing owners basically race for each others money via stake payments

How do you sell sponsorships when you don't even know where the event is being held the next year???

I read somewhere that over the week they were selling 1.5 million in merch a day with the online store and the giftshop on the grounds .

Ridiculous comparison

[Bernie Madoff]

False equivalency.

Shame Budweiser wasn't a sponsor last year, Fan Duel was their presenting sponsor. So there's that. Not to mention it could end up in CANADA, AMERICA'S TROTTING CLASSI  Maybe they can land Molson. This is so easy.  BTW Pepsi is the primary sponsor of the Super Bowl.  And no actual successful industry doesn't research where they spend every penny, only harness racing's primary sponsor is welfare. Corporations have stockholders they have to answer to.

Pepsi also sponsors the North American Cup.
