Stop worrying about who in the ESPN-driven world likes racing. There's more than enough people interested in the game. Instead of worrying about some network morons catching on and doing the work for us, take it upon yourself to grow interest in the game one fan at a time.
We have the entire Internet at our disposal and people are worried about what the tired, hackneyed media outlets are doing.

Wow, Steve... did I strike a nerve? I'm not sure why... I was just saying how this weekend shows that horse racing still has a pulse in general society, which regardless of how big any industry is, general interest is a positive.
But your point seems to be that who cares if general society doesn't like horse racing because we have a core following which will for sure carry this sport. Well, these figures tell me otherwise...
And you know how much I care about this game and what I've done to grow interest... that's not really a fair or accurate statement.
