Pretty simple I'd say. Whether you agree or not, like it or not, this horse has an incredible main stream following. No need to rehash what we already know, but the ability to showcase racing to bettors and casual fans a like is a good direction to go in. There is room for both.

If whoever had this statue put up thinks it can help attract fans or draw people to appreciate the sport itself, then I am all for it.
