NTRA (or whomever)

Dear NTRA or whomever is responsible for market this sport,

I know horse racing has to compete for column inches with the opening of college football season and it's marquee match-ups like Navy-Ohio State and Syracuse-Minnesota, but if Rachel Alexandra does not appear on the front of every sports section in America tomorrow, you should hang it up and stop accepting money from the racetracks and whomever else funds you. On Friday I asked 22 of my male, sports-loving coworkers if any of them knew who Rachel Alexandra was. Four of them thought she was the new girl who works in accounting (who's name actually IS Rachel). Two of them thought she won the Kentucky Derby. No one else had a clue who she was. And I blame you, NTRA.

Thanks,

Justin Dew

P.S.

You are a total f***ing joke.
