Actually, the sport does need FANS, and gamblers, and owners, and leadership, and a lot of other things. It needs balance and sports like the NFL and MLB and even freakin' Major League Soccer have those things. I was just at a conference that the NFL Commissioner spoke at (he's surprisingly a very soft spoken man) and he talked about the how important the balance is between all user groups and how important the fans are. Without the fans, revenue drops - you need the balance. The sport of horse racing is really lacking in this balance.
