In this article, Andy Beyer suggests that the only racing in Maryland should be a short meet at Pimlico from early April through the end of May. He feels racing at Laurel should end completely.

Here's my question (note: This is a question, not a criticism. I want to make that clear since there seems to be a problem here with interpreting questions as jabs):

If Maryland only conducted live racing for 7 or 8 weeks a year, would that actually help the industry financially? It seems that even with better racing and increased purse money per race, there would be less revenue to go around. Am I wrong?

I actually like the idea. I think we would see much better horses in MD. But would it do much to help MD racing?
