You're not going to beat the other forms of gambling by trying to sell racing as a gambling product, that much is clear. It simply costs too much to create the product.
You can beat the other forms of gambling by having big events. Saratoga, Del Mar, Keeneland, and the Triple Crown are obvious examples.
But none of this matters when there's no national body determining race dates, schedules, meets, etc. Everybody is losing except the state-level politicians and trainers in the current environment.
