Not sure where he gets his "no other sports available" comment from though, unless he has already rolled dogs numbers into horses to come up with a racing total.
But not surprised - racing as a betting medium is in decline and will continue to be. I learned about horses in the 1980s because I wanted to gamble and that was what was available for betting on. Lads these days can walk into bookies (or go online) and see prices about something they already know and are passionate about (mainly football, but cricket, rugby etc) or something they know nothing about and will need to learn before they start betting - that is a one-way street imo.

Gambling will be banned entirely within 20 years the way things are going.
