I think you are missing the point. The "big bettors" wager large sums of money because they bet several tracks a day on a regular basis. And you want to bring those big bettors to the racetrack so they can concentrate the bulk of their action on the local product? Don't you see that these players won't be "big bettors" then?
Even if those big bettors
did go to the actual racetrack, they wouldn't be there to enjoy the ambiance of the place and bet on the local product. They would gather at the simulcast center of the place, where they could bet on the other tracks available that day. And why go to the track for that...when you can accomplish the same thing from the comfort of your own home?
