If we want to be considered as a news worthy sport we have to remember that most news that is reported is negative and as such reporters and columnists will write much more about knocking things than writing positive, 'puff pieces'.

Well said. While some may not like how some of the media is reporting on horse racing.. especially the mainstream media which is often uninformed and gets involved only during this time of year.. this is NOT a report. It's one guy's opinion. Fair or not, other major sports get this type of scrutiny year round.
