News Flash:reduced Takeout=Handle growth By John Pricci
Excerpt:
ELMONT, NY, September 17, 2010--The work of the Horseplayers Association of North America apparently is beginning to gain traction.
For the uninitiated, H.A.N.A. is a grass roots, non-profit organization made up of a consortium of horseplayers, possibly the most abused customers of any kind on the planet.
The reason H.A.N.A. exists is to unite horseplayers into a large enough group so that they might speak with one voice to affect positive change.
Horseplayers--without whom there wold be no parimutuel racing- would at least like to be included in any conversations between the track management and horsemen's groups, he players that decide their fate.
Not necessarily included directly--although that would be welcome--but at least in spirit so their concerns will be considered.
The industry is learning the hard way that building it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will come.
