I do not believe a reasonable argument can be made that racing is not in a perilous state of decline. There are many contributing factors but I do believe those factors only slow or accelerate the eventual demise of large scale racing throughout the world. Almost everything positive or negative in life is doomed to change and horse racing is certainly no exception. Nothing better to do then build venues so people can race animals and wager upon the outcomes . In addition those who commit a large percentages of their free time to trying to predict the out comes. Should I run into St peter I am going to have some "splainin" to do.

You have to be a better handicapper if you are facing a larger takeout. for me I am facing bettors and bots on the X that pay 5% commission (or less) and I am facing a 12% nut.

I have only been able to convert two friends of mine into horseplayers. They have both stopped talking to me...and, deservedly so.
