This isn't a sewing circle. When you defend the indefensible, you get what you get....Subsidies aren't helpful to racing. If in 20 years there are 5 tracks total in the US, then so be it. It needs to stand on its own 2 feet. No sacred cows in my book.

"Subsidies" ? Since the racetracks own the rights to run the slots and entered into a contract with a gaming company to run that side of the business for a percentage of the rake it is a business relationship. Fact is that the State of PA is acting like an organized crime syndicate in trying to usurp that.

Yes I've read all the articles....If you need slots to have racing, you don't need racing. Where the money goes is of little consequence to me.
