How you convince your wife that racing is the "greatest game" depends primarily on what kinds of things your wife is already interested in. Invitations to pre-Derby bashes, the Lexington Ball, & other similar events works for many. In fact, Cot Cambell's partnerships became successful because one of the female partners was featured in a large spread in the Sunday mag of the Atlanta Const. If your wife is an avid golfer or shopper, there are certainly trks located near those activities, not to mention some of the great racing trips you can take to foreign venues. There are also certain things you can do while you are on a racing trip & which you probably don't do as often as you should when you're at home that will have your wife acually looking forward to her next trip to the trk.
