You're defining it as a problem. I'm arguing it's not. Nobody's plunking down $46 thinking their ship's coming in or they'll definitely get to go to the winner's circle unless they're not reading in which case I'd suggest doing that before spending money as a general rule.
Sure it's subsidizing the investment of the bigger owners. Big deal. They're the ones taking the risk by racing a very valuable mare another year. They get the pay out, and frankly it's fair that they do. In exchange for putting down very little, i.e. risking very little, you get to own a racehorse for a few months along with several thousand of your closest not-even-acquaintances.
