This is not to say that this is the most important segment of the public that racing needs to charm. They (racing) absolutely needs to get their act together in pleasing the heavy bettor and getting tracks and ADWs to work with one another and all of the other countless issues that go along with this so I can understand the argument that their energies are misplaced.

I don't disagree with you about there not being women bettors, but I just feel that the number Riot put out there for ones with wagering accounts is way way off base.
