Ray, the problem is it goes against the machine maker's interest to have a game that promotes horse racing. They won't do it.

For tracks with Casino/Live Racing, install a bank of video slots with the base theme of horse racing with lots of bells and whistles and maybe even some player interaction like choosing best times or hot driver etc and let the game play out like most mindless coin droppers, occasionally churning some reward back.
But here's the kicker, if the player is lucky, the game pops up with a BONUS ROUND which gives him a "FREE" Win/Exacta/Trifecta/Super ticket on the next live race. He picks 4 numbers and all wagers are automatically entered, and he gets to watch the race on the video machine and it collects any payoffs. He never has to leave his seat. Eventually some of these players, the ticket winners, will gravitate to the less boring parimutuel game.
OK, Somebody out there get the patent, I'll program the game and we'll all get rich....
