Stop caring that a certain segment of the populace isn't interested in the game. What validation does anyone need from people too vapid to understand racing or too ignorant to take up handicapping/wagering as a pastime?

Amen to this part of the quote...............I have never ceased to be amazed by the lack of understanding of this game by non-horse gamblers. To think that you would be satisfied by playing a slot machine or a roll of the dice over trying to decipher the mystery of an individual horserace is ridiculous to me. You at least have the opportunity to make an informed decision in every situation rather than blind luck being your salvation. It takes hard work and diligence to find that nugget of gold in this game but nothing is more satifying. This has been a nice year for the game with some incredibly distinguished performers and performances. I understand the push to get more people involved with various promotions etc., but there is just no way certain segments of the population will ever embrace this sport.
