I get your point, I promise. But I think the game needs to rid itself of all the things you suggest keeping. Most fans don't attend live racing anyway. The key is quality racing for huge purses. And a few tracks and horsemen sharing all of the gambling dollars versus many people getting a piece of the pie. This is just my opinion though. I understand your viewpoint.
