Couple that with how these inflated purses water down racing in the region and it doesn’t seem like a good thing to continue down this path.

I live 55 miles from Parx I follow racing daily for 30 years I bet albeit way less now than in past. I think I watch about 5 races a year from Parx, I simply can not see a scenario save them reducing the rake dramatically that would get me to give a crap

Parx is 20-25 minutes from my work and from my house and I’ve been there maybe 2 times in the last 3 years.

A lot of that is due to online wagering but Parx doesn’t have much to physically draw me there. As far as wagering on Parx races, if I’m not at the track then I almost never even look at the card for Parx.

Although I might add, I never realized until now that I could make it to Parx, place a bet, watch a race, and get back to work all during my lunch break. Something to ponder.

Sorry. We had it pegged at 26,000 when we were trying to get the legislation through. We thought it could be 75,000 with partial incomes.

Should have Brian Sanfratello on.
