Mike,
Consolidation is right around the corner as economics and the foal crop will demand. Eliminating some tracks and shortening meets mandatory.
Sports betting is a binary outcome with limited returns and should not threaten the much larger payoffs thoroughbred racing offers.
For me, educating the new players is, or should be a major concern/goal. Too many irrelevant statistics/quick pick options/and ill equipped touts abound.
As a brief example; blinkers on. Many of todays newer players immediately look at how the trainer has done with this move, which is an irrelevant stat. Better players realize starter approval is required and examine the workouts for additional clues. bbb
