The racetracks are all saying Please take the money away so we can shut down a product that does very little for us and let us just have our cash cow casinos.. Horsemen deserve to lose the money, they have done nothing to promote or help the sport since they started receiving the welfare checks

To be honest, I don't know what a horsemen's group can do to grow the sport and handle. For all the people who advocate a huge and expensive marketing campaign, they need to rethink that. Advertising a product that is unappealing is ridiculous.
 Giving up 5% of the purse account to do this is foolish. Giving up 5% of purse account to better police the current product is a solid investment. Once you can up with a program that builds confidence and trust in your current fans and gamblers, you can then advertise for more market share.
 I have some thoughts on such a program.

There`s no fixing it. It`s been done for a long time. Every day moving forward is a gift just like the last 20 years. The horsemen should thank god that they made what they did! Everything comes to an end.

The first thing that must be built is trust. I don't agree nothing can be done. Trust can be built the old fashion way. By doing what you say.

Once simulcasting took off it opened the doors to watch better racing and wager on it. Exit the railbirds. Then ADW came along and you can wager anywhere by phone. Exit all brick and mortar. It's 2020 not 1990 and while there is a lot more money in the world there are far more ways to spend it on entertainment. Harness racing was a niche sport couldn't hold a candle to the thoroughbreds. There is not a track that can handle and fund it's purses to the tune owners willing to race for that would allow to pay the cost of owning. There is NO sport and the 5% usage of funds to market is a waste of time. They could spend 10x that and still the interest would be zilch. It's a stale product that races at a mile and most of the race is single file. So thrilling to the average person!!! Not really. Harness racing has no growth because it never had any foresight the past 2-3 decades.
