And of course you find and easy spot. But what if every spot was competitive. Your patrons, the bettors will bet your race. And purses will rise.

WTH do they need slots at tracks Rupert? Why cant the industry stand on its own? Such sort sided views. Of course I understand your position. It is totally reasonable. But... Is it possible to look at it from a broader perspective with the future of the industry in mind? Nah. You dont need to save racing. You cant save racing. The decline continues. You play with the cards you are dealt and dont worry about what you cannot control. Better racing with larger purses.
