People forget that racing was the original, and only, gambling in the US. They also forget it employs a tremendous amount of people and provides a full or partial income for many more. It's hundreds of thousands of people.
When you think of the NBA. 15 players a team, 32 teams. 480, add coaches and staff, maybe 1200. MLB, double that and NFL triple that. But still.
Horse Racing is a livelihood for a tremendous amount of people. A good livelihood. They work hard, long hours. I admire all of them.

Maybe I am optimistic but knowing Gamblers love of Action I could see those at the Sports book watching games throwing some money at a race or 3..
