And compare it with what, Poker maybe?
You think a Poker ad would be that laughable and pretentious?
The people running this sport and the powers that be in horse racing are clueless beyond belief. A lot of them need to find different outlets where they can better put their educations to use that suit them.
The more we continue to market the sport to people who want to wear an expensive hat and walk around with a mint drink one day out of the whole entire year -- the more the sport is going to continue a steady decline.
If you go to the dice table at 4AM on a Thursday here ... the two are full and you usually have to wait to get in. If you go to the simulcasting on Met Mile day when live racing is dark ... you might have 8 people betting.
