It is only Sumter County registered residents who can vote in the June 17, 2008 Special Election on the Oxford Horse Park. TV residents would be affected by it though who live in Marion and Lake County. I would expect actually that the heaviest impact if the Oxford Horse Park were created would be on Marion County's Villagers. Traffic on US301 would probably be the main concern.

Commercial property values would probably increase around the Horse Park but it seems likely that the houses' worth near there would decrease. I did not note any Villages homes though anywhere near the Horse Park's proposed site.

Gambling by Villagers would probably rise too except that I would expect the people who would become regulars at the Horse Park already go to Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa fairly regularly.
