NY Times opinion

[Cannon Shell]

I always about the 'dwindling' interest in a venture where 1 billion dollars a years is bet on it through one outlet. I guess the media is so conditioned to call horseracing a 'dying' sport that they never stop to think about the billions of dollars of revenue derived from this venture. Of course it would take the newspapers to step out of their ivory towers to see that the horse racing business has a whole lot better chance of being in existence in 20 years than the print media business does.
