Most of the NYC OTB's had a 6% surcharge vs track price, yet attendance at NYRA tracks did not improve at all.
Any racing official who does not know that the game has permanently moved off track(app 80% of handle)is out of touch. Aside from boutique meets and big days, the masses are not going to the track anywhere near as often as they once did.
Spending a dollar on trying to increase attendance at the track is a waste of money.
