Great game, dirty sport.

Horse racing feels a lot like college athletics.

The stars of the game are lionized but there are so many victims and so much collateral damage along the way..

And in horse racing, no one speaks up for the abused horses or unwitting horseplayers.

Good luck if you're gambling serious money without a rebate.

The big syndicates are gambling at a much lower takeout rate than the foot soldiers in the grandstand and clubhouse.

Horse racing feels a lot like college athletics.

Horse racing doesn't "feel" like anything. It might seem like something.

The word is seems despite all the "parrots" out there without brain one.

I even heard the vastly over-rated Dan Patrick (his middle name) Pugh, his real name, "correcting" himself a while back on his radio show beginning to say seems and than switching to the abhorrent "fells like". Shameful.

That move doesn't make a person seem "with it" like interjections such as hip, cool, or "right-on" do. Rather, it makes a person seem ignorant and shallow, interested in affectation instead of straight forward communication or talk. Again, they think they sound cool, but rather come across as shallow. And, instead, they sound ignorant, foolish, and annoying.

To put it another way, would you jump off a bridge because everybody else was doing it, or drink the "kool-aid" because everyone else in Jim Jones cult of the late 1970's did so? I hope not.
