As a person who was lucky enough to see mule racing at many county fairs out west, it seemed that the majority of mules were involved with a relatively few individuals. They even had a website, and it just did not seem that folks were breeding to sell, and it was just the same mules year after year. And there were racing opportunities for much of the summer starting with Winnemucca in June and going through the beginning of the fall. The racing curcuit started to coalesce in California, where the money was better, so your chances of seeing a mule race outside of the Golden State decreased as time went on.
And now it is basically a memory...which is really too bad because the average fan loved the mules!!
