It's fun to see Idol Horse as a publication increasingly ask questions about uma directed at the industry
The JRA's avoidance of uma and western racing's ignorance of uma are totally different topics, but I do think it boils down to the fact that uma's audience is not profitable

@ichiroao In fact, the "95% male" data was during the first week of the game's release in 2021. Apparently female players then increased. The report I quoted already suggested a male-female player ratio of 85:15 in 2022. Perhaps it's still the case now.
