Maybe I have spent too much time of my life in OTB's, but in my opinion there many more bettors in this game then there are true fans of it. The type of people that just turned the page in their form and moved to the next race a day like the day Eight Belles went down. This segment of the fan base couldn't care less about anything except when is the post time till the next race.
