What the Nation is saying about the 2012 John B Connally Turf Hcp (G3)...

Sam Houston Race Park is getting it right

With the realization that thoroughbred racing needs to be progressive in both the marketing and packaging of its product in order to compete for a percentage of the ever shrinking disposable income of the consumer, creative new thinking has become essential not only for the here and now, but also fo...Read More

shadowno · WIth the audacity to charge $10 for a can of Heineken on Belmont Day, you can add unadulterated greed to the pot as well. · 158 days ago ·

marylandgq · SHRP has been my favorite Night Racing track for the past 5+ years. It seems they are pushing all the right buttons to get the attention of horseplayers across the country. NOW it's time for the horseplayers to wake-up and realize these "small tracks w/ cheap horses" actually offer better value & bigger fields than the "big tracks" (e.g. in CA and NY). That is, unless you enjoy 5-6 horse fields and sub-$4.00 WIN pay-offs?! · 158 days ago ·

head_heart_hooves · Great points, Brian! It's noce to see more tracks embracing technology; with a year-round, all-week sport, it's critical to have a good online presence. Plus it apeals to the young folks. Nothin' wrong with 50¢ beers either! · 158 days ago ·

butchcassidy8504 · This is great and I really do it works out well for SHRP. If only the other tracks could take an example of this and use it to their advantage to build on their racing product as well instead of just their gaming operations and plans to just get rid of racing. We need tracks like this to build on racing and make it thrive. Not let it go by the wayside and say goodbye. Kudos to SHRP, and I look forward to their big day in January. · 151 days ago ·

buckpasser · The future of racing depends on tracks like Sam Houston getting the marketing of thoroughbred racing right. These second tier tracks keep horse breeding in their various states viable and in many cases provide the first time fan a place to become enthralled with racing. I believe that if more top horses went to these tracks, it would be a huge shot in the arm to the industry. Whether one likes Dr. Hansen or not, his running Hansen at some of these smaller venues increased fan participation. · 151 days ago ·

buckpasser · Ontario is a cautionary tale for racing. While slots program was not a subsidy, it became one because the industry did nothing to improve the wagering and racing experience. If tracks are going to survive, they have to improve the fan experience and the wagering model. If they have slots, it must be used wisely for track improvements, marketing etc. and not just for purses. · 151 days ago ·

buckpasser · TV if the Ontario tracks were doing such a great job of attracting fans, please explain to me why on the Ontario report it showed only 3 tracks that had purses drawn from more from wagering than from slots revenue. Woodbine, Fort Erie and Mohawk drew at the most 51% percent of their purse structure from wagering, the rest came from slots revenue. Ironically, the track that had the best percentage was Fort Erie. In many tracks wagering barely accounted for two percent of the purse structure. If the fan experience was so great, why then are Woodbine etc. barely able to survive without some level of cash infusion. · 151 days ago ·

buckpasser · As far as I am concerned, Ontario is a cautionary tale for NY racing in particular. New York State and NY City are about to run deficits to the tune of billions of dollars. They have already raised taxes and cut services. They need some stream of revenue and certainly Cuomo is eyeing gambling expansion. The industry had better be prepared for this. Pennsylvania horsemen headed off huge changes to income distributions and programs. · 151 days ago ·
