OPM,

"Meets should be specialized"

Maybe if more meets around the country had a "vacation-like" atmosphere to them it would also help. It works for Saratoga and to some extent that's what makes Vegas a big draw. That would never work for a place like Aqueduct, but there's got to be a few tracks around the country that are located in areas very close to a lot of good dining, a nice town with evening entertainment, and other familiy activities.
