Title: In light of HP's closing. . .
Post by: Dave in TJ Mex on December 22, 2013, 09:50:57 PM
. . . I was looking for a recent comprehensive article on line discussing the reasons for horse racing's long decline.

Couldn't find anything all that recent, but this article from the NY Times from four years ago hits the big points.

Thanks for posting Dave. 

Everything the author says was true at the time, and it's still true.

Agree - depressing isn't it?
