I don't agree. Wouldn't adding another form of gaming to your current menu be an attractor? You will have people coming in for several hours at a time(current MLB games average 2 hours 54 minutes)if you have a bar a decent menu and yes live horse racing those people coming for sports wagering will spend a few bucks on the races. The object here per the numerous sports wagering studies done for NJ show there will be an increase in attendance at those venues that have SW. Right now MP will reap the benefits as they are the only ones set up to go once SCOTUS approves SW.
