Definitely the answer. Been preaching that for years. May come out of necessity if the governments keep taking slots $ off the table as the PA gov proposed earlier this year, pre COVID. I think even just eliminating Parx from say May-early/late Sept would help alot. Del and Mth can coexist. The real pressure on Mth actually came from GP- lots of trainers that used to come up- Orseno, Broome, Pompay and prob a few others I can't think of top of mind.
