I know why I have not been playing, and it's not just because I stink.

Seems like a significant decrease. Just normalizing off a big meet in 2007?
I do think most of it's normalizing. People perceived alot of chaos (= $$ opportunity) last year, I think, so many paid more attention and may have played when they normally didn't. This year they are not, perhaps?

I think many perceive boutique meets as difficult to hit hard from day one, with horses coming in from everywhere.
