Many traditional events are no longer as popular, not least as people have more choice these days. Many attendees would have been there for reasons other than racing, but there is still a not-inconsiderable following here and around the world.
I think you'd find that more money than ever is staked on the national, but it's all done online rather than in those glorfied amusement arcades called bookies. Whichever way you look at it, it is still a major event.
Anyway, how does that have anything to do with BRXIT? This is the place for arguments about BREXIT, not horse racing!! :-)
