Sadly there will only be a handful of horse racing tracks left in the USA.Casino related corporations are snapping up racetracks because they can turn them into racinos where the state laws allow for such.Slot machines are guaranteed instant money makers.Even with simulcasting widely available,races are simply too far apart & too difficult to handicap to satisfy the huge masses of mindless,carefree degenerate gamblers who need instant gratification that only slot machines can provide.Once the laws eventually no longer force casinos to subsidize racetracks they will happily cut off their lifeline & therefore cause the extinction of many of the remaining racetracks in the nation
