Now, let's start with Joe.

What does horse racing have to do to regain some of its popularity?

Joe, I don't think it's going to happen.

I think what has happened is we live in an age

where everything is so instantaneous. Horse racing is as far as for people who are involved in it

from a handicapping and gambling standpoint,

it is an art for them as much as a science.

They understand why there's 20, 25 minutes between races.

They utilize that time very efficiently.

They understand what it means to see horses as they're in the post parade,

as they warm up,

know what to look for and stuff like that.

The people who come to horse racing for a day or two,

they want action.

They use to things turning over every second.

They want to be entertained. They want to be entertained.
