WoW. By The Look of Forums and some on Twitter you would think we hit bottom!?
Tis a shame most horse players people look to are so negative about the game. There are more bad rules every year added in the NFL but you may here the fans--IE the tuck rule sucks etc--Not its killing our game. Soon no one will be watching..
Love the game sick of many in the games attitude!
I don't thik it's possible to say that racing has suffered from the lack of nationally televised events. When it's on, people watch.
For potential new fans - Good luck. I am a long time fan, and it's a job to figure out how to watch or listen.
Anon 10:39am-Agreed, the Ratings as well as overall Handle figures show the game is more healthy than some people portray
Anon 1:07am-People will watch & it needs to be on more
