Cost of horse racing at Prairie Meadows still under question

“At a minimum, there's $5 million-plus (in expenses allocated to racing) that either would not be related directly to horse racing or would continue if horse racing was discontinued”

So once again, what is the cost of horse racing at Prairie Meadows? Loren Jacobsen of Dallas Center thinks it's up to $10 million less than what the Altoona casino has estimated. via Des Moines Register
