Frank,
I respect your views and I am probably as hard core a race track gambler as you are.The whole concept of beautifying race tracks with malls, concerts and fancy restaurants will do and has done zero to improve handle and attendance.Slots/poker have helped.
Guys like Stronach do not have a clue as to what people who often bet money really want from a racetrack(they never asked). Because of in home TV, internet et al there will NEVER be the daily crowds of the years past,excepting big days,or big meets, e.g. Saratoga.
I wonder if the Magna shareholders are thanking Stronach as you are for the Ten Palms.
Mike
