To be more serious, Kentucky Downs is an example of one of the few real upsides of the modern economics of the sport. Simulcasting / interstate betting revenue is what makes a meet like this possible: in the old days, a racetrack that couldn't produce decent live attendance couldn't afford purses, and couldn't attract top horses. But KD relies totally on off track betting revenues, and it produces enough to support an extremely high quality boutique meet.
