Whenever I write a new column for America’s Best Racing, I always keep in mind my core horse racing audience: newcomers.
It is not enough for the industry to market to newcomers. It also must educate and nurture them so as to elevate this group into becoming regular fans.
A topic I am going to touch upon today is a good one for newcomers. It’s actually one that is too often ignored even by hardcore handicappers. It’s “main track only” (MTO) horses that draw into races that come off the turf.
