Upper Nile.
I'm with you on the handle statistic.
Tell me how much is wagered On-Track, at OTB, on Phone accounts and then tell me how much of that is going towards NY Racing and/or Racing at other venues with Simulcasting. I will be able to give you reliable numerics.
The game has changed and so has the Player and potential Players.
Nowdays it is more about hit and run type action. Nobody has time anymore to take a 1 hour train ride and spend five hours at the track then take another 1 hour train ride back.
Churchill figures a massive facelift will bring people back to the Track. It will but then what happens in three years after everyone has seen it???
