Penn National's 2023 dates request reduces the number of live racing dates from 150 to 134, by shutting down for 2 weeks in April and 4 more weeks from late September to late October. In addition, all race cards will have just 7 races instead of 8.
Sounds like the beginning of the end of live racing.
