I look around and the mean age continues to rise..At just about every venue I attend. .....except Oaklawn..
UNLESS there is something to motivate the younger crowd, when we die off who will take our place?
Woodbine used to have a televised channel on the tube every racing day (PUBLIC channel for all to see). Each day they would give a stake to about 5 to 6 groups of young people and then follow then during the racing card to update their progress. Was a very successful maneuver until the Slots at Racetracks program was junked....NOW they are as corporate as the other tracks forgetting the good progress they made....Too bad.
Myself I think it has to do with widespread ADD in the younger crowd.....Without constant titillation they are out of here.
