Richie,
I loved what you said early about speed and so on and so forth.You also told
me something when you said 3 horses extended at the wire going for it.It reminded
me that horse racing isn't about cashing a bet,being right or eating a bad
hot dog.It's a daggone athletic endeavor.It's about pushing ourselves as athletes
to be the best and love what we do.What I tell people who have never been to the races is forget about wagering,eat before you go,and go right down to the rail
at the 1/8 pole and just focus on horses and riders as they pass.As the old Mick
said"It's a thing a beauty".Then and only then,after the appreciation can they
decide to go wagering.
