Your not getting the point. These owners would have NO REASON to run a horse if there wasn't the public FUNDING these purses.
The PURSES are the start of the process, without the purse, there is no horse racing. Owners/trainers/jockeys are tentacles to horse racing. Not a negative thing, but without the purses, which are funded by bettors, the rest wouldn't be there
