Xpressbet asks, "Why does the New York Times continue to attack horse racing?"

Thoroughbred Times quote of the day features a link to an article at http://xpressbet.com/ReadOnTrack?id=4555 which asks the question, Why does the New York Times continue to attack horse racing? The writer comes to the conclusion that racing is an easy target for sensationalism that sells papers. I keep waiting for prominent writers to ask which powerful industry would benefit most ($) from the demise of horseracing in the US, because therein lies the answer.
