And, how does racing regaining popularity put money in my pocket?
Crist wants to sell DRF subscriptions, so he has his agenda (and followers).

Unfortunately there are those of us who not only love the sport but participate at the window and ownership at the lower level of claimers and starter allowance type horses in states that do not allow any type of wagerering. Our only live racing opportunity is to drive over and hour to a state that allows simulcasting and para mutual wagering on horses. In the meantime we watch TVG and HRTV and place our plays off shore just to be participating. If I could have access to Twin Spires and Expessbet it would be wonderful. Better coverage of sport would bolster fields and purses. Just look at those on ESPN who support the sport. I just don't see any Jim McKays in the bunch, eventhough I love Kenny Mane. While we might think him as a dinosaur, Steven D. I believe has it right. Promote handicapping to the younger adults because it's the only thing in a casino where you can truly improve your odds on winning. Perfect for a Racino. Oh, yea, the after races concert with cheap beers works well too.
