Many of the posts on this string have an element or more of truth to them, making it a worthwhile read.
As for the weakening of the breed leading to the weakening of the business I don't think there is a connection. If racing income was the only source of income available to an owner, the business would have closed down long ago.
It's not the only source...clearly. A breeder-owner can realize a profit racing/selling or participating in gambling, which is a source of unreported income the owner can try to access. For sure, an owner is going to have more inside information than the average fan in that regard.
It's been good for me.
