Why are thoroughbreds less popular than Harness Racing in Sweden and other Scandanavian countries?

Similar situation we had in the Northeast, seems like the northern part of the state (Meadowlands Racetrack) draws very well for its harness meeting but the thoroughbred meet in short and the handle much less; on the other hand in the southern part of the state, harness racing didn't succeed at now defunct Garden State Park, but the area seemed to like thoroughbreds more.

Is it geographics? Or in the case of Scandinavian counties, more so tradition?

i know nothing about Sweden or Scandinavia but i really think its a matter of what your used to. i grew up on TB racing and while i do enjoy watching harness racing live i hate to bet on it. the way they zoom up from last to first in the final 100 yards is so frustrating. ill have the trifecta lined up perfectly and the last moment all these horses come out of no where and my three dont even finish in the top three. so ya its what your used to id say.
