it confounds me that we have this discussion when nobody appears able to clearly define where the money to support racing comes from
handle/wagering
government
casino
any/all of the above
might be beneficial to have that information by state and then comment
fyi, i am not going to go over the economic multiplier effect of horse racing versus a casino, tried that already
also the USA debt is currently $36 trillion, a few bucks spent on horse racing matters, i think not
Well, compared to the national debt, it's a drop in the ocean. lOL!
