They're few and far between. Boarding alone can break you...
I honestly didn't take it out of contest. I understand what you said but don't agree with it. Bettors have their money invested in the breeding business....in fact they fuel it. If you can't see this relationship, and I think you can, then you aren't thinking it through.

I don't disagree that many people not directly involved in the breeding business don't understand, as you explained, how hard it is to make money in that aspect of the business.

What I disgreed with was ANY suggestion that bettors don't have their money invested.....because it is invested in every aspect of this game...whether directly or indirectly.
