Atlantic City casinos should partner with the horse racing industry says a study by Rutgers University. In its report titled, “2014 State of the New Jersey Horse Racing Industry,” the study by the Rutgers Equine Science Center says that since the Atlantic City casinos stopped subsidizing racing purses, “the health of the racing industry” has been hit hard by “the cessation of the purse enhancement awards in 2010 and by competition from the purse and breeder incentive structures that exist in neighboring states where racing is supported by alternative gaming.” Authors of the report are Dr. Karyn Malinowski, director of the Rutgers Equine Science Center, and Dr. Paul Gottlieb, chair of the Rutgers Department of Agricultural, Food, Resource Economics.
