entertainment attractions, WEG has numer- ous connections to make it happen. "It's more than just the legal and statuto- ry stuff," Zammit said. "It's everything in be- tween to ensure that every aspect of (their) stay at our facility is the best it can be. You retain visitors to your facility by giving them an outstanding experience. Can you say that's the reason why we do this? I would say 100 percent, but since I've started here I see the value in this because it's getting harder and harder to compete for horses. There's only a finite number of horses at any given point in North America and we're all competing for that same pool of hors- es and you've got to differentiate yourself. If this program helps us to get more horses here, then that's something we're going to invest in and that's what we're starting to use to get more horses up here. More hors- es at our track is good." Owner Barbara Keller is full of praise for WEG, having raced two horses in the GI E.P. Taylor Stakes. She placed second in 2014 with Odeliz (Ire) (Falco) and won it in 2017 with Blond Me (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}).
