Everything changes, that's just the way it is.

Horse racing is still popular, it's just not as popular as it once was. Seems everything has declined since 1920/1930. The blame is the bittersweet Internet.

There definitely has been a decline, and even more so this past year because of the Covid-19 outbreak. Since horse racing is a huge spectator sport, once rated the second biggest, it's no surprise that popularity has decreased due to no fan racing. However, before Covid-19 there was actually a spike of attendees in horse racing events. Of course, it's not same as it once was, because part of the problem is that more people are going to casinos, as well as, playing the lottery instead of going to the track. However, those of us who are die hard fans of Thoroughbred horse racing will remain high horse enthusiasts. Make no mistake, there's many racing fans in this Multi-Billion Dollar Industry.

I don't know, but I'm gonna take a guess and say we're too fat for that now. Those poor horses couldn't keep up.
