This is a very sad development and this decline is painfully evident when one tries to discuss racing amongst friends or people in general. Compared to other sports, most people know little and care less about it. The only exception being the Kentucky Derby, but even there knowledge is lacking. Compare this to the "golden age" of Secretariat, Affirmed vs. Alydar and Ruffian.
The only people I can even discuss racing with are online and now most think handicapping has something to do with the disabled.
