Most tracks have the horses vey well separated from the "innocents".

 in the winners circle...>

In that case, could be. One big lawsuit and Saratoga will be sold to Magna 
Corp., who will change the whole setup. We live in a different age. Too 
damned many lawyers--but you have to play by the new rules or lose everything 
you've built.

You ain't been there enough, Dear.
