It is a pyramid.

Without bettors, tracks get nothing, without tracks, the trainers have no jobs, without trainers, their employees have no jobs.

How about owner pays for horse that actually runs?
There would be nothing to bet on if not for owners
buying the competitors. I feel compelled to make sure
the betting public understands this.

The owners and betting public are the cash cows, not just the betting public.

Your not getting the point. These owners would have NO REASON to run a horse if there wasn't the public FUNDING these purses.

The PURSES are the start of the process, without the purse, there is no horse racing. Owners/trainers/jockeys are tentacles to horse racing. Not a negative thing, but without the purses, which are funded by bettors, the rest wouldn't be there
