We're in trouble.
Went to the OTB yesterday for a day of horseplaying. Outside of a few regulars, the place was empty - on a Saturday. The kids with their dad outside trying to collect some money for little league had nothing to do but stand there.
After watching the first couple of races, I realized I should have just stayed home or found something else to do. Nothing but 4 and 5 horse fields everywhere, including what is supposed to be the premier meet, Keeneland.
Boring, unless you like that sort of thing.
The first half of every card was the same just about everywhere. I'll wait till later in the day to go next week.
If I go at all.
When I went home, put on the Harness racing and found that things were just as bad. Tracks that used to card full fields were running races with 6 or 7.
Meadowlands, the highest handling track, had 10 races and only half of them had 8 horses or more!
We're in trouble as horseplayers.
