Even small tracks can provide value for local horseplayers and deserve to be recognized. Little known Fonner Park possesses the 2nd lowest win, place, show takeout on the continent. Fonner races a short meet, in Grand Island Nebraska and has done so since 1954.

I would enjoy online wagering and watching 18th rated Fonner Park's races. The low WPS takeout is commendable. There are many lesser rated tracks on which online bettors can both watch and wager.Is there a reason you know of which would explain why this is apparently not available?
Race Replays advertises the availability of Fonner re-runs -- so it is clear there is a video signal being produced. Doesn't anyone live video stream their racing? And is there any ADW company you know of which takes action on their races ?
I am not sure where/what is offered by them. I do know that simulcasting your signal costs you satellite money. I think it is something like $7500 a month. With a small track, with a small program for state breds it is a fee that some would not find easy to pay. But I have no idea in this case.
For local fans they certainly are getting some bang for their buck there.
Fonner Park wagering is available at tracks/OTB parlors in Illinois & Indiana. Why they do not seem to be available online is a mystery.
