Thanks Jeff, I thought that the track was based in Ada, my mistake.
My comment pretty much stems from yesterdays discussion that revolved around Belmont Park and the entertainment options that they are up against in New York City.

But isn't that somewhat nullified by the difference in population size?

That's a fair point, but I honestly think the answer is no.

For discussion purposes using the NY area/Belmont is a very tough example.

I agree. How about San diego?

Maybe they can get Mr. Ghetto and his girls to come to the track instead of Wal-Mart.

I have never been there so I don't think I could form an honest and fair opinion.

Obviously when it comes to the Remington discussion I was just guessing . I was in Omaha Nebraska once and I envision many of these midwestern cities to look like that (which I understand is unfair and probably very far away from the truth). But, I just assume that the entertainment options aren't aplenty and if a new restauraunt/bar/club opens up somewhere in the area (albeit at a racetrack) it is major news and people want to go.

People go nuts over a Starbucks opening.
