Just checked out their website for the first time (I'm not a NY racing fan)
Looks like they do not provide free programs.........

Thanks for that link cklv, I can't understand why these tracks don't bother to provide fans with this information. What does it cost them to provide players with research material from their tracks?

Race track managements believe that an educated fan is a lost fan. :eek:

Usually racetracks don't provide anything until they're threatened enough to do so.

In their busy days, they dinged customers for every dollar they could: $2-10 admission, depending on where; $1-10 for parking, closer was more; $4 for a beer, $6 for a sandwich, etc. Some of the smaller tracks have started offering free or reduced parking, admission, etc., as well as promotional giveaways. Of course, with bet-at-home and simulcasting, players no longer have to be on property to bet.

Because they've been saved by simulcasting in the 1990's and by slots this decade, they still haven't gotten around to addressing the issue of taking care of the fans. The greyhound tracks, whose handle has gone down about 70% in the past decade, have taken steps to shore things up by offering free programs, result charts, and much other info online. A few harness tracks (Cal Expo for instance) also offer free online programs. When the slots are everywhere and the money for that dilutes as it did for simulcasting, the tracks will then probably start looking for ways to take care of the fans---something they should have done decades ago.

The problem is that it may be too late by then.
