inconsistent rulings by the stewards.
high take out
over taxation (anything over 300-1 for a $2 bet is reported)
jockeys that stop riding when they can't win - what about my trifecta
small uncompetitive fields

All the above, but especially the jocks that stop riding. I lose way too many trifectas and supers this way.

A lot of those complaints would go away (somewhat) if there were 10+ horse fields to bet on every race for sure.

Incompetent track owners that are more interested in running a slots parlor and answering to shareholders than they are in producing a good product for the bettors, trainers, and owners.

These slot tracks are bad for racing on so many levels. You have to love the purses and they are the only place a slow horse can make a buck ,but isnt that the issue?

Nobody bets these tracks and nobody every will.
