100% right on, I met my wife at Keeneland, all of my buddies kept telling me to come to Keeneland, because of the great scenery. I hated horse racing back then, they told me I would have a good time, even if I hated the horses, so I went. Fell in love with the game back in 1998 and love it more every year. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
Horses like everything else has become event driven, big days, try going to the Breeders Cup at Lone Star, I was wishing there were about 20,000 less fans there that day and I had decent seats...
