Horse-betting will become an afterthought in a few years, IMO. Even the horse racing business itself is grooming the loyal horseplayer so he could eventually become a casino or sports bettor. How else do we explain the glamor surrounding the casino players at the racetrack...while the hardcore horseplayer has to go past garbage cans in order to get to the horse-betting side of the place?

And as long as the WHALES continue whaling...there is no need for the industry to concern itself with any other demographic of player.
