Tastemakers?
Does the Jockey Club entirely fund America's Best Racing?
Half of the crap they put out seems to be aimed at heiresses, trust fund babies, or pretentious doucebags who like to pretend they're millionaires.
Even Patrick Cummings probably thinks that some of this stuff is too snobby and pretentious.
This is stuff that they think will appeal to potential racing fans that are my age? Of all the stuff I've seen on that site, certainly nothing they do is going to create one new bettor. And I'm very dubious they're creating any semi-serious racing fans.

Yes, and order a nice $3,000 bottle of champagne as you sit around with your table discussing how pretty those colorful silks and horses are -- and how much better off the sport would be if people didn't handicap and didn't take betting so seriously.
