With the incredible advancements in information and technology -- there's never been less reason to go to the track. It's not as meaningful as a metric, no.

These guys like Pittsburgh Phil would have to constantly get on trains and go track-to-track all across the country... just so they could bet on almost all short fields, with no real exotics, and very limited info.

Horse racing should be a bigger deal than the NFL, MLB, and NBA combined. I doubt any industry has ever tried so hard for so long to shrink and poison its customer/fan base.
