There are too many internal problems in the sport. The main one being horrendous fields and now the horrendous fields are more often than not 6 horses or less.

Fact of the matter is this isn't the same sport that got me hooked when I was young...it's a parody of itself.

very much agreed.

first thing that racing needs to do is close half of the tracks. if you cant average 9 or more starters per race you dont get a racing lisence.

it seems like the only reason a lot of small tracks are open anyway is slot machines. ugh, maybe Freddy does have a point.
