MJ,
You mentioned one of the main problems with the game,betting pools too small to get gamblers interested in the Canterbury's of the world.It could be argued that closure of all such venues,with live racing,would increase pool size at the majors(NY, Cali, KY, FL)
Even with handle stagnant at $10 billion, the game would be way better off if that money was concentrated into a few pools rather than 15+pools on many days.Unfortunately, contraction in live racing venues may take too long to give racing a jolt which attracts extra handle.
