Market the sport as a betting vechicle not as a sport. Trainers and owners and jockeys are not marketable in any meaningful manner. Horses careers are fleeting. The fact that you can walk into a track and figure out how to make 6 or 7 figure scores are what will bring people and keep them coming back.

Yes, but the fact that the Pick Six is a $2 minimum prevents a lot of people like myself from being able to take a reasonable shot at that 6 or 7 figure score. As long as that is the case it will make it a lot more difficult to promote the game to new gamblers on the basis of the big score. You really need to get comfortable making other bets and already be hooked on the game before you can venture into the Pick Six pool.
