There are simply more things to do today, online poker and other gambling outlets are much more popular. Horse racing is just not what it once was. It doesn't appeal to the crowd looking for constant action, which is what young people are looking for today.

I love the sport and have been enjoyed it for a number of years. The idea that horse racing in general is dead or is dying really disturbs me. I'm not sure what the problem is, as there are many legit reasons why it's declining. To me it comes down to this:
I play races just about every weekend and some weekdays. I always play on the big days. I print out free PP's, bet online, at the track, or at the OTB. I have Dish so I get to watch all the races that I bet. Now, for me, it doesn't take a lot of my time, and it sure never gets old, tiring, and I never feel it's a burden to get the information. (all pretty much free) For many though, who aren't "hooked" I can see where they think it's too much work. Especially during football season where they get analysis of every game by simply clicking a website or clicking a remote to ESPN. Then call their bookie or get online to bet. They don't have to search for the PP's or go to the track to get a program. They don't have to sit and cap the races. And they sure don't have to get Dish Network to watch the football games. There really seems to be a problem in marketing this great sport to the masses. Either the vast majority of people don't care, or maybe, just maybe, they don't know what is going on with this sport due to the lack of coverage, thus missing out on what this sport offers.
