Quote:
The state once had eight tracks, and now it's down to one (see list below).
In Michigan, betting on live races at in-state tracks has fallen 99 percent over the past decade. State records show that bettors wagered $203 million on live racing at five Michigan tracks in 2009. Last year, it was $2.2 million at the state's one remaining track, Northville Downs
