This is the same BS pitch (save the horse industry) that we got from our lawmakers when they first started ‘PIMPING’ casinos for Pennsylvania. Now it’s true that our dying horse racing industry has been brought back to life, but it’s not because of greater attendance or from people gambling at our horse tracks. It’s because they’re being subsidized from the ‘BILLIONS’ of dollars that Pennsylvanians are losing in our casinos annually.

Casinos are the main reason why the horse racing industry is dying in our country and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why, but it helps being an ex-casino gambling degenerate like myself to prove and explain why.

Here where I live, Philadelphia, Pa. we once had four horse-racing tracks within an hour or so ride from one another, Liberty Bell Park, Brandywine, Garden State, and Atlantic City race track. The first three tracks closed down completely once casino gambling became legal in Atlantic City. The Atlantic City race course holds a few live racing events each year just to keep with state law in order to hold simulcast betting throughout the year.

The only way the horse racing industry might have a shot in today’s casino gambling world, would be for them to go to a Ben-Hur theme, with chariots, whips, swards, and spears. Go to any horse racing track in our country and you will see very few patrons under the age of fifty. The new generation of gamblers those under the age of fifty along with those over the age of fifty who have been introduced to casino gambling don’t have the patience to wait for a horse to run around in a circle to get their fix, they need it instantaneously, and that’s what casino gambling does. In other words, comparing horse racing gambling and casino gambling is like comparing marijuana to crack cocaine.
