They must be making a living somehow. They seemed to be sucking up those $1000 last place checks. They get stalls for nothing, pay nobody, and collect low checks. I'd have to do the math, but I don't think they are starving.
Of course the timing was done for a reason. That is always a consideration on these types of reports. Regardless of how you feel about that and whether everything in there is exaggerated, it is still pretty damn accurate at portraying what goes on at racinos at the lower end of the claiming ladder. Purses are too high, and the "jail" rule needs to come back. The elimination of it was a slap in the face to bettors...and of course horses.
