With syndicates taking up most of the advertising on all HPiTV programs, the sport wants people who are not so savvy with betting, (but still enjoy trying, like me) welcomed into the industry via alternate routes.<br /><br />I don't think they're implying that bettors are no longer important in the long-term plan, but I believe they realize that there will always be gambling and that now is the time to attract all walks of life. <br /><br />They're trying to diversify the product to become attractive to the 'everyday housewife', the 'doctor', the 'truckdriver', etc. Syndicates lay claim to the fact that you don't need a tonne of money or time to enjoy racehorse ownership and become 'part' of the industry.<br /><br />However, I do believe that the sport does rely heavily on chaps such as yourself to generate revenue, and programs should be implemented in the long-term plan to educate people in this particular area of the business.<br /><br />StandardbredgalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-15897138878378780072011-08-18T07:00:28.409-04:002011-08-18T07:00:28.409-04:00Oh, so basically what they do today?
