I love the coach!
Here's the thing. Lets compare the biggest bettor in the country to the biggest owner in the country. If the biggest owner stops owning and sells off all his horses, someone will take his place. Someone else will own his dispersed horses. He'll leave the game and no one will really notice from a financial perspective. Owners contribute nothing financially to the game in the sense that one owner is exactly the same as the other. If the richest guy in the world sells one horse to the poorest guy in the world, that horse still has the same exact effect on the game. Its one more horse in the entry box.
But, if the biggest bettor in the game stops betting, he can't be replaced overnight. Or ever.
When the synthetic nazi's mandated synthetic tracks, no one asked the bettors if they wanted change. The biggest bettors in the USA are the most winningest bettors (by definition) and no one asked them if they wanted their successful business tinkered with. No one asked them, they just went ahead and did it.
