So the question is, how do we get owners in horse racing to start factoring the fans in to their decisions on horses? Unfortunately, I am at a loss as to how that could happen since the fans are much too willing to be ignored by the owners and yet remain fans (and bettors) of the game.

I actually think it's pretty ridiculous the way people are always criticizing the owners of sports team. I also think it's ridiculous how often the owners fire the coaches. Only one team can win the championship each year. The other 27 teams, or however many teams are in that particular sport will lose. No matter how good of a job the owner, the coach, and the players do, there is still a 95% chance that the team will not win the championship. Fans just don't seem to understand that. Every team can't win. I think fans need to be more realistic about their team's chances of winning a championship. If there are 28 teams in a sport, then your team should win the championship about once every 28 years if they are an average team. You would obviously expect more from a team like the Yankees because they spend so much money. But I don't know how a fan can criticize his team for not spending as much as the Yankees. Most owners can't afford to spend as much as the Yankees. The teams in the smaller markest don't make nearly as much money as the Yankees.

Anyway, as long as a team is being run halfway competently, I don't think people should complain. Every team can't win. Even if every owner did a great job, there would still be a team that has the worst record in the league.
