Unfortunately, Magna is not really about horseracing but about gimmicks surrounding horseracing. There is the horse wizard, slot machines, beauty contests, malls, hotels, etc. Xpressbet is a complete failure in my opinion. Where do you get HRTV and after April it's not good anyway unless you want to watch LoneStar.
Slots is not the cure for horseracing, period. We need to get new fans involved in racing, not in activities around racing like rock concerts, slot machines, horse wizards, etc. One way is to have more TV, more tournaments(a la the World Poker Tour) and less 5-10,000 mc/ claming races.
