I do think that in theory we need the handle concentrated on less tracks. I just wish it was concentrated on the best tracks out there and not just the ones with Casino money. Oh well.
You're describing the flaw in the horsemen's "business plan" to grab for all the casino money they can. They are voluntarily destroying their own business. If you want to keep a failing business alive, you fight to make it profitable, not dependant on a handout.
