So would showing sappy unrealistic nonsense help the industry out? How many people could even sit through Secretariat without thinking there has to be a better way to spend 90 minutes? Did Racing Stripes really point the industry in the right direction?
Freddy is his own way has it right. It's a character driven drama with the backdrop at the track. The Sopranos made the mafia seem cool. Maybe this show can do the same thing. If not, no one goes anyway.
