In some thoughts simulcasting watered down the interest in the sport to just a cheap way to gamble. Before simulcasting, people would take time to go to the paddock, read the form and you can actually hear people cheering. I will miss Friday night racing at Hollywood Park. That was part of my childhood and I always looked forward going to it.
