OK, here we go again. This blog post will change nothing, but here are some horse racing related questions that currently have terrible answers:
Why can the Olympics time each runner accurately to the 1/100th of a second, but horse racing can't?
Why do run ups exist especially when it comes to dirt/Tapeta racing?
Why are some trainers still "risking it" with designer drugs?
Why are there track takeouts north of 15%?
Why do jackpot bets exist?
Why are there inquiries that last more than 5 minutes?
Why does one have to claim a horse prior to a race and not after the race?
Why are horses allowed to breed before they reach 6 years old?
Why is it legal for a grown adult to carry a gun in public in Texas, but that same person can't make a legal horse racing bet online?
Why do big name trainers, who pretty much train in name only at some tracks, not have a reasonable limit to how many horses they can train nationwide?
Why aren't there universal rules when it comes to fines and penalties, and betting?
Why isn't there a nationwide horse racing lottery?
Why doesn't a national betting exchange exist for win and show bets with a 4% takeout?
