They should make all stake races at Hoosier Park grade 1's and every race run at HP a listed stake if that was the case.
Gone are the days where racing will draw because of the quality of the horses. . . The old people and purists need to get over it.

My knowledge doesn't go far enough back to confirm this, but all anyone ever says is how much the horses of today suck compared to the horses from past generations. . . so who cares about the "highest level of the sport"?

The only way racing has any chance of surviving is if it is presented as an attractive betting product and alternative to the less intellectually driven forms of gambling that dominate the market.
