You folks just haven't figured out that it is the TV, not the gate at the track that generates the money. Bernie could hold all of his races in Uzbekistan or Bongo Congo. Not a single ticket could be sold, but as long as the TV rights are sold it will be a money-maker.

I agree to an extent with Boots - without getting into a discussion about tobacco - I find the idea of taking the circus to countries with human rights records that are below abysmal is abhorent. The money spent building these tracks could feed how many?
