I believe the following.

1. The game revolves around bettors and without bettors it will fail
Agree 100%

2. The current average age of horse racing bettors is close to one billion years old

Saw younger people than that during my many trips to the spa this summer.
3. Horse racing does not do anything (or, at most, very little) correct to attract new bettors and therefore is dying

Disagree

4. Horse racing is viewed by younger bettors (like 18 year-olds such as myself) as being a fixed, corrupt game that one cannot win at.

Really?
5. This is very unlike, for instance, the message that poker has sold to reinvent itself
I have no idea what to think of this
6. The reason horse racing is seen as fixed and corrupt is because, well, it is
Wow..that's a pretty optimistic view. If this is really the case, then why are you still involved?
7. Ordinary bettors (people that do/would bet) believe that unless you are an industry "insider" it is impossible to beat the game. (I could offer as evidence myriad examples)

I have thought this before myself, so therefore, I agree.
8. Worse yet, for some reason, the industry allows for (and in some case encourages) this corruption and faulty marketing strategy to perpetuate itself.

Don't really know what to think of this.
9. I am a crusader. I am a vigilante. I will address these issues when they rear their ugly head.

You go! Kick some ass!
10. Vic is an ugly head.

Hmmmm.
Just for argument sake, I'll evaluate this young mans above post.
