The whole ridiculous point of these whacko posts is that racing needs to start to entertain again if it wishes to succeed long term and grow. You can't count on the horses anymore and frankly I doubt the horses were ever as important as the shear reality that people had very little option in the past to gamble other then the racetrack. Now with the advent of legalized gambling, with lottery's, casinos(abound), fantasy leagues/office pools on the NFL, and just about anything else you can think of, racing needs to reinvent itself and start to entertain people and compete.
