IMO Finger Lakes is under utilized.

IMO, the very long term future of racing is a dozen or so short boutique meets around the country in vacation destinations. Very rich breeders and owners will...

IMO, there are too many moving parts to make too big a deal about racetrack handle in any given year. I'd rather look at longer terms trends that take economic cycles and other things into account....
