jpinkertoncook · I love these features, too! It's especially great for fans like me who don't have a decades-long history of keeping up. I will never, ever forget seeing Goldi's three-peat. · 218 days ago ·

Major sports in America are declining in attendance. Fans are fed up with the high cost of attending sporting events. Horse Racing needs to take major steps to lure these fans into the "Sport Of Kings." With the right marketing, Horse Racing can be a major player again!Read More

MaryPetrecz · I post on my fb page about racing and have a few new fans and am connecting with some like minded fans. I agree with all of the above. The tracks need to step up and offer some fun things....most women love big hats, but don't know how to bet. So how about having beginner bet groups at the tracks. How about a get to know the horses group at the tracks? More charity. Ask the charity groups to get involved . How about a chili cook off showcased at a track? Who are the people doing the promotions....and what can we as fans do? Whew....great and thought provoking article. · 268 days ago ·

jpinkertoncook · Very well done, Scott and contributors. I think Brian makes a very important point that the sport can't grow without attention to the animals' welfare. · 268 days ago ·

tiznow · Mary brought up something churchill used to do but doesn't anymore. During the fall meet they literally used to have a chili cookoff. These events draw people even if it was held at a knitting contest. Kind of ironic that all of us contributing to the article pretty much hit on the same major points. It's not rocket science, but does need to be an applied science to get results. And thanks for the gambling shout out Scott!!! lol, gambling is secondary, but as you pointed out if we can draw people and educate them, they can leave with more money than they came with. I'm a prime example, as i did't gamble routinely until about 3 years ago after realizing i was learning and able to pick winners like i just texted you about with the first two at Woodbine today paying $15.20 and $12.60 respectively!! you have to pick up the slack of Tiz shoutouts with Rudulph leaving. haha! · 268 days ago ·

cpsoren121 · Scott, this is perfect. There are a lot of elements that need to be enhanced, starting with the marketing of the sport, followed by fan incentives such as price of admission and food, etc. Then expanded TV coverage is a must. Very well written and I hope industry insiders heed our call. · 268 days ago ·

Winplacsho · Great piece Scott. One thing that racing really has going for it at this moment is that IT IS THE ONLY LEGAL FORM OF ONLINE GAMBLING! Think of all the online poker players (and we all know at least 1) who've been shut out, that we could have a shot of tunring into racing fans. Both games are very intellectual, and we have the only outlet where smart gamblers can flex their brain muscles. Its great to showcase racing as a beautiful game, with majestic athletes, but the truth is without new gamblers the sport will continue to decline. I do agree with less race days to increase field sizes over all, which in turn will increase handle. I also agree with cheap beer, free progams, etc. as far as trying to get new, young fans to the sport. These folks may start out as $2 bettors, but over time as their income earning potential grew, so may their personal handle. In conclusion, try to poach the online poker players right now!!!!!!!! The window of opportunity may be small if the federal government regulates online poker and reopens the flood gates. · 268 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · Scott, this is a great article. I spend quite a lot of time in Hong Kong for work, and have truly learn to appreciate their approach on the sport. There are advertisements all over downtown (more for sponsors, but hey, what ever puts a horse on a billboard) and they choose to only race 1 time a week at each of the respective tracks for a 6-8 month period. The culture at the track is fantastic, and they even have a horse mascot roaming the stands. Of my entire friend base, I'm the only one who has recognized the potential in this sport, and am slowly bring my friends over the line. Dollar days (dollar parking, beers, hot dogs, admission, sodas) at Golden Gate Fields helps too :) · 268 days ago ·

mikemoss13 · You've nailed it Scott. Wonderful article, and I appreciate everyone's opinion on what's wrong. NOW, let's start talking to the marketing people at each and every track, see if they are planning for new ways to attract new players. I've seen many good ideas in responses, and I sure hope my home track is reading. · 268 days ago ·

gocashking · Agree wholeheartedly with Derek Simon - and add - DON'T treat your customers like degenerates - learn how to make them feel like valued CUSTOMERS - give them free admission, programs, soft drinks, coffee - they'll bet the money anyway if you can keep them inside. CLEAN the damn place up! There should never EVER be bird shit on seats in the granstand but I see it all the time at Woodbine. Consider the Australian model FLEXI wagering whereby you select a TOTAL that you would like to wager opn any given exotic wager, then punch your horses in and are paid on a percantage of the total wager. Gives smaller players a chance. Promote a wager or wagers that can be made in the corner store even a daily PICK 3 with 3 10-horse fields that plays out like the daily pick 3 numbers game. Youès be surprised how many people would play it - it could create interest. Decrease takeout and have more guaranteed pools at smaller tracks - they have been successful especially at harness tracks. NEVER forget that wagering is what drives this sport or game and without wagering this would all collapse like a house of cards in a hurry. GB · 268 days ago ·

ErnieMunick · Many good ideas here, fellas. We need to hear more from players like Tiz - small bettors who love to bet and love watching them in person. I'm big on mega matchups of our games biggest stars - keeping horses in training beyond their sophomore years, letting them reach their peaks, is essential. We also need bobbleheads of the HRN crew · 268 days ago ·

MarkRodriquez · Agreed, compared to the NFL, admission, parking and a form are much cheaper than a ticket to the Packers game. But wait a minute, you don't buy $100 vouchers at the Packers game. Racing is in direct competition with other forms of gambling. Casinos don't charge admission or parking. And you don't have to spend $6 on a paper that would make you a better blackjack or slot player. To the not-so-serious player, racing is a difficult thing to grasp. The first question asked to me by novices: "How do you pick a winner?" That question could be answered a 100 different ways. ALMOST EVERYBODY I'VE TAKEN TO THE TRACK HAS POLITELY REFUSED WHEN ASKED TO GO AGAIN. When they don't understand how to play, it's no fun. A slot machine is much easier. · 267 days ago ·

icyhotboo · Suppose one day you awoke and found they closed all horse racing wagering of any kind, which under the act they used to close on line poker can happen. What then and why shouldn't they as racing can't stand on it's own as opposed to poker. · 266 days ago ·

Have to say that Singletary's win in the Mile was one of my favorite BC races... what a great horse and a great race!

Singletary

This race came up perfect for Singletary. Still can't believe the exacta came up at over $1,500.00. It's what makes the BC races the best day of the year.
