I have to disagree with the highlighted part. The "fans" that would most likely be interested in this are the same people talking to her on facebook as if she is really responding and checking her blog everyday to see if there is an exciting update like she made a big sh.it or something. These aren't bettors and never will be. Not that they
have to be, but betting $2 a year in the Derby on the horsey with the bestest name doesn't make you a bettor.
She was and continues to be an incredible PR machine though. I just wish these efforts actually did something that helps the sport grow where it needs to.
Besides Freddy and Stonegossard, who really wants Jerry Moss's autograph anyway?
