Personally, all I think we need is for horse owners to stop collectively acting like they are totally brain dead by dramatically overpaying for yearlings and other horses. If the prices for horses came down to the point where the economics of racing came even close to the economics of breeding (or at least racing made some economic sense), many would choose racing. That it turn would set everything on a virtuous path and instead of its current vicious path. However, as long as owners as a group insist on being dumber than a rock by dramatically overpaying and losing massive sums of money, those that hit the lottery will cash their winning ticket ASAP. That's what the game has become. It's like the lottery.

Someone (outside of breeding certainly) should publish stats on just how badly most owners do and push it really hard. Maybe it would discourage the insanity. In the short term that person would probably be hated by a lot of people in the industry, but in the long term it might help shift the economics in a postive direction for the sport as a whole and for the owners themselves. It would be massively better for the fans.

I'm going to stop ranting because obviously this subject needs a lot of thought. I'm just tired of it.
