You couldn't hide a sports existence from the general public any better if you deliberately tried.

I have always said the same thing, with all of the outlets, why hasnt someone stepped up and atleast attempted a huge media blitz to try to get a bigger fan base. I have had people tell me, "Well besides the KY Derby, I have never heard about any other races much less any actual horses names". I cant believe with all of the money in this game, someone hasnt thought to get some of these high powered media savy firms and attempted to put this sport more on the map to the general public.
