Thanks for the answer. Good stuff, mate. I have to say, I might make my way to a local track even for simulcasting, if they allowed that, if I could write off the state portion. As opposed to going to a more convenient (OTB) location. That's mostly because I'm a large multirace player though. I can't imagine most others would choose that, but hey, there is a lot of strength in numbers, so maybe they vastly outweigh guys like me.
