Seriously, it's hard for a $10 buck a race lifer like myself to imagine your levels of play, but I can understand your valid feelings. Not even sure of solutions here. Almost wish the horse industry realized they and they alone have CHOSEN to die slowly instead of giving a shit and fought to market the greatest sport ever.
Retain your undying loyal fans(like OP and everyone here) by listening and reacting. Create growth by marketing the passion and excitement to the young people. And lastly realize that while ADW's have a large role in the success of racing, the live racing experience and the social gathering of the Off Track Parlors have still got to be above par activities. So that's my penny's worth. And for F sakes, get rid of the beggars and parasites.

The track owners and the horsemen already have an image in their minds of what the "greatest sport ever" would be...and the horseplayer is an unnecessary and unwelcomed participant in it. It's an image of an ocean of intoxicated slots players merrily and mindlessly lining up to entirely take over the responsibility of funding the purses which necessitated the toleration of those aggravating and forever complaining horseplayers all these years.
For years they've wanted to get rid of us...but they didn't know how to manage it. Well, now they do...and they are not shy to tell it to our faces.
