So... Belinda Stronach in her fancy Pegasus dress that probably cost more than my house thinks she knows about horses and horse players?
I read the entire article that's up on Paulick Report and rolled my eyes at 90% of it. She gushes about creating an "experience" for new people, but completely ignores the fans and bettors the Stronach tracks already have.
Look, I am not a rich person. I'd love to own a racehorse some day but it'll probably be a $30,000 claimer (which is fine). I bet maybe $100 to $200 whenever I'm lucky enough to make it to a track... but I guarantee you that regular folks like me who go to the track 15 or 20 times a year and spend our measley $200 are worth in more in the long run than the spoiled rich kids who'll show up at the Pegasus once a year and spend too much on crappy cocktails and not a dime on the actual races.
