He received a medal from the Macau government in 2012 in recognition of his contribution to the tourism industry.
the "track" has always been an entertaining tourist attraction. years ago, the women were aggressive. then they stopped badgering you, then prices went up.
one thing has remained constant...very few punters ever reported a great experience with a Lisboa racetrack girl. they LOOKED great, sure, but generally turned out to be starfishes.
much more fun to be had elsewhere in town. but the track was amusing. sorry to see it go.
