I personally don't know anyone who feels that way; however, in order to *follow* a sport in a dedicated manner, fans need athletes who are going to "play" longer than ................. a few months.
I'd say the same thing if it were tennis players, etc. If they were musical chairs every few months, and retired, I would probably lose interest in tennis.
I have no demands on the racing industry. Just saying you won't be around much longer if things don't change is fair game as a fan. :shrugs: There are many other sports, both equine and otherwise, to get interested in if it comes to that.
Making a CHOICE is not being a victim.
