12 out of 15 mediocre contenders who are slower than the fillies and mares?...all with sub standard Beyer figures up to this point. You ever think a story like this might arouse some curiosity toward the game? Could people across the entire country who would never consider visiting a race track do so and become intoxicated with the atmosphere? Could it possibly expand the fan base? Might it intrigue folks to buy horses, whom never would have considered it? Could it possibly do enough good to wake up a dying industry and make it realize that preserving tradition without adaptation means nothing?
