A haven? How about making it a little easier to see a race instead of trying to turn the track into a Jimmy Buffet song. How about making it a little easier to get a bet in on big days. How about pushing to change the rule on multi race exotics when there is a surface change.

You know, things that actually help bettors.

Wouldn't you agree that on track handle is not what drives racetrack revenue?

Why not make it fun since most of your revenue comes from the simulcasting dollar.

Gulfstream has a wonderful paddock area and the shops, etc all around do give a cool vibe. Personally one of my favorite parts of the Gulfstream experience is the backdrop with the high rise condo's, etc..

So screw the people that show up to support the product? What about the fun for the people that are already there? Why keep pushing them out trying to attract jagoffs drinking red bull and vodkas and screaming for 4/5 shots every race? I guess I'm old school.

Certain bets aren't for everyone. The pick 6 is one of them. I just don't think horse racing needs to make the track and it's bets resemble a carnival. It needs to focus on what makes it unique and great.

I'll agree with this, and while I haven't been there yet, I am guessing there is some 'hardcore horse playing areas' and also some party areas. I personally like both.

One day I like f'n around and playing and other days (the bigger ones) I like sitting in a chair with two TV's in front of me and a wall of flat screens and a program with 12 tracks in it and hands waiting for multitple paper cuts

The Hexadime

The Dime Sextet

The Mercury 6 (reference to the old Mercury dimes).

This last one would also lend itself well to advertising ("The Mercury is going sky high this weekend" -- especially in the winter)
