I would have voted for a third option - it won't make any difference. I'm of the opinion that vast majority, 90+ percent, of sports bettors that go to a brick and mortar shop OR wager online will never bet the ponies anyway.

The way racing is marketed and regulated in this country today is not helping to grow the handle, and any law requiring brick and mortar shops, a portion of the handle to go to racing, sports betting at the track only, sports betting managed by the horse racing commissions, etc., will only hurt racing's image that much more. Racing must standalone, or at least appear to stand alone, to survive. Otherwise it's just a parasite.

The racinos have provided an example of how NOT to expand gaming, and the interests behind sports betting will be avoiding the millstone of the ponies if at all possible.
