I may be naive but I dont see people deciding "do I play the ponies or do I play the slots today".......I feel like people seek out poker to play, they seek out horses, or they seek out whatever venture that they enjoy and can survive.
You just have little chance of surviving long term in horse racing. When that changes, if ever, I feel like the sport could grow.
