In today's gambling-happy atmosphere...there is no chance at all for a game that emphasizes "pageantry"...while offering only one betting opportunity every 25 minutes or so. Even if a gambling newcomer were to visit a racetrack today, he would barely notice the pageantry of the live product...because he would be deep in the bowels of the place at the simulcast center, watching and betting on the product by way of the TVs.



I just think that the live racing is the hook. TV is definitely the life line. The question is what will draw a person to the TV in the first place and what will keep them there?
