I think Friday night Hollywood cards would be a great place to start. Make it a weekly thing for the meet and see if intrest picks up. I believe that would do more justice for the sport than the airing of some contest that honestly I would think most horseplayers would have a hard time sitting through.
Well, that's the ultimate goal, good exposure for the sport in whatever form it comes, and that exposure leading to an increase in the number of people who play in the pools. Other than that, I am flexible in that I will support and applaud any format that accomplishes the goal of revitalizing and strengthening the game.
