Horseracing is not the only sport where good writing is spread thin. People who actually know the sport and can write are hard to come by. You basically got a bunch of guys that can put things on the level of a casual fan and then move on to baseball and then keep up with college FB recruiting and then...
And really, how much need is there for good writers to cover horse racing? The real fan base is so small... The more people get into a sport, the more likely we are going to find writers who cant get away with not knowing the sport. These guys dont know history, dont know training, dont know betting, so many things... Racing is a fairly complex sport. Something like baseball. Its hard to pay attention full-time. I think this is where the internet can play a very large role.
So your next article on handicapping trainers is due Wed. I guess Belmont, Churchill, and Hollywood would cover it.
