Death Total at 29; Horses Still Running at Santa Anita

NBC Sports horse racing analyst Randy Moss joins Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams to discuss a host of issues related to the business of thoroughbred racing, including the 29 horses that have died at Santa Anita Racetrack since December. The deaths have drawn national attention, including condemnation from California Governor Gavin Newsom. Moss also talks about declining interest in what was once one of America's most popular sports, and what horse racing can do to possibly reverse the trend. Also discussed is horse racing's history with gambling, and why there's economic incentive for owners not to race their best horses.
