Another excellent point. It's why I think the industry as a whole has dropped the ball in the way the sport is marketed. The game is driven by gambling. That doesn't mean the feel good stories don't have their place, because they do.

But if the sport spent half as much time trying to educate people about how to handicap as they do pushing the fluff, I think we would see more interest from people. That's why something like Racequest is important. If you teach people how to win, as you said, the rest is history.
