The biggest issue with racing for me is lack of quality. Racing is so boring that I can't even sit thru whole daily race card. It's not even a sport, its an exercise in milking pools especially at Stronach venues.
Why would a venue card 14 mediocre races otherwise? And why should fans care about jockey/trainer races?
The other issue for me is actually the very reason why people are interested in racing: handicapping. It has been an intellectual exercise for many, but, its becoming almost totally meaningless. Unless one is racing insider, how does one handicap multitude of layoff horses that now regularly appear in almost all important stake races? There are horses that make their appearance in Grades stake races after being laid off for more than a year? Its a total crapshoot as they can't be properly evaluated without insider knowledge.
